English: Deputy Minister, thank you for this statement today. In my constituency, and covering Ogmore constituency as well - Huw Irranca-Davies's seat - we are really fortunate to have YPOP, which is a branch of the Bridgend Youth Council. YPOP is an online safe space for young people who are LGBTQ+ or allies, and the group hosts chat and chill drop-in sessions, special events and delivers training workshops. Whilst being a space to make friends and socialise, YPOP is also a space to come and receive support from the Bridgend council participation team if young people need it. And young people who attend YPOP have raised the point that more needs to be done to ensure that their teachers, GPs and those within the authorities have training around LGBTQ+ discrimination, how to tackle homophobia or transphobia, as well as support young people with their needs. I want to thank you, and also our education Minister as well, because I know that you're meeting me with one of our Youth Parliament Members to talk exactly about this this week, so thank you. But there is a consistent message coming through from young people and other people in the LGBTQ+ community: that we need to normalise calling out the hate when we see it, whether that's in schools and the workplace, amongst peers, or in this Chamber. So, Deputy Minister, my question therefore is: how much consideration have you taken to rolling out the action plan in places like schools and ensuring that schools have the provisions to tackle the hate crime against the LGBTQ+ community that continues?
Welsh: Dirprwy Weinidog, diolch i chi am y datganiad hwn heddiw. Yn fy etholaeth i, ac yn cwmpasu etholaeth Ogwr hefyd - sedd Huw Irranca-Davies - rydym ni'n ffodus iawn i fod ag YPOP, sef cangen o Gyngor Ieuenctid Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr. Mae YPOP yn ofod diogel ar-lein ar gyfer pobl ifanc sy'n LHDTC+ neu'n gynghreiriaid, ac mae'r grŵp yn cynnal sesiynau galw heibio er mwyn sgwrsio ac ymlacio, digwyddiadau arbennig ac yn darparu gweithdai hyfforddi. Wrth gynnig lle i wneud ffrindiau a chymdeithasu, mae YPOP yn fan hefyd i ddod iddi ar gyfer cael cefnogaeth gan dîm cyfranogi cyngor Pen-y-bont os oes angen hynny ar bobl ifanc. Ac mae pobl ifanc sy'n mynychu YPOP wedi codi'r pwynt bod angen gwneud mwy i sicrhau bod eu hathrawon, eu meddygon teulu a rhai yn yr awdurdodau yn cael hyfforddiant am wahaniaethu LHDTC+, a sut i fynd i'r afael â homoffobia neu drawsffobia, yn ogystal â chefnogi pobl ifanc gyda'u hanghenion. Fe hoffwn i ddiolch i chi, a'n Gweinidog addysg hefyd, oherwydd rwy'n gwybod eich bod chi am gwrdd â mi ac un o Aelodau ein Senedd Ieuenctid i siarad am hynny'n union yr wythnos hon, felly diolch i chi. Ond mae neges gyson yn dod drwodd gan bobl ifanc a phobl eraill yn y gymuned LHDTC+: sef bod angen normaleiddio adrodd am y casineb pan welwn ni ef, boed hynny mewn ysgolion a'r gweithle, ymhlith cyfoedion, neu yn y Siambr hon. Felly, Dirprwy Weinidog, fy nghwestiwn felly yw: faint o ystyriaeth a wnaethoch chi ei roi i gyflwyno'r cynllun gweithredu mewn mannau fel ysgolion a sicrhau bod y darpariaethau gan yr ysgolion i fynd i'r afael â'r troseddau casineb yn erbyn y gymuned LHDTC+ sy'n parhau i ddigwydd?
