English: I want to also thank the outgoing children's commissioner and welcome the new one. Yesterday, of course, marked the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. The UK Government of course marked that by signalling a return to austerity and that disastrous policy that consigned our country to a lost decade of low growth, underfunded public services and growing inequality. However, under the last Labour UK Government, child poverty was declining. And I'm focusing particularly on child poverty, because it is children coming out of poverty that will see them having better lives, better opportunities, better chances, and better access to those things that will improve their circumstances, like heat, like food and like good clothing. So, I do think that when we talk about difficult decisions and financial policies, we need to think about what those difficult decisions look like for some households - so, reusing dirty nappies, watering down formula milk, and a baby sleeping in a drawer and a seven-year-old in a travel cot because you can't afford a bed. Those are what you call difficult decisions that families are making now in Britain today. They're from a report by the charity Little Village, which runs more than 200 baby banks across the UK. Foodbanks, warm banks and baby banks - the Tories are doing an awful lot of banking in a crisis. And that is put in the context of what we're debating today. There is an awful lot here that has moved on and a lot that we can celebrate, congratulate and commend, but the challenge for the new commissioner going forward, as the report notes, is to help tackle and respond to that poverty that I've just outlined, and I know that the Welsh Government has put forward policies, like the extended Summer of Fun, which is in that report, free school meals for every primary school pupil - really critical now in this time - and the expanded childcare offer, so that parents can go out to work and earn some money and also have some dignity. And the basic income pilot for young care leavers that was mentioned earlier is a positive move. They are predicated on the belief that everyone benefits when we invest in children and their families, not when we rob young people of a fair start and opportunities. I do want to focus on children in care and care leavers. I want to particularly focus on the corporate parenting charter, and it's been recommended by the commissioner that we need to move to legislation. I think it's extremely important that every elected Member understands - not here, but at all levels, local authority as well - that they are the corporate parent of the looked-after child, and that it isn't the case that they can offload their commitments by that child being out of county or, in some cases, extremely rare cases, out of the country. What I think we need to focus on is who is feeding - . What is the structure and mechanism for feeding back the particular needs of that young person - the particular needs of that young person who is in residential care? What happens to those reports, if there are any - and I didn't see any when I was a councillor, but things might have moved on - and who is advocating on behalf of that child, because advocacy on behalf of that child is hugely important? And, of course, what we have seen is an increased profitability that's been attached more recently to companies making money out of the destitution of those children, which I find rather appalling, I have to say. And, particularly in Pembrokeshire, we have a fair amount of looked-after places. I'm not suggesting that those particular people are benefiting disproportionately, but we do know that there have been reports where people are benefiting disproportionately in running multiples of spaces for looked-after children. So, that's an area, I think, that needs a particular focus. We're talking about the well-being of the most vulnerable people in our society. Thank you.
Welsh: Rwyf i am ddiolch hefyd i'r comisiynydd plant sy'n gadael a chroesawu'r un newydd. Ddoe, wrth gwrs, roedd hi'n Ddiwrnod Rhyngwladol ar gyfer Dileu Tlodi. Wrth gwrs, fe wnaeth Llywodraeth y DU ddathlu hynny drwy ddychwelyd i lymder a'r polisi trychinebus hwnnw a wnaeth drosglwyddo ein gwlad i ddegawd goll o dwf isel, gwasanaethau cyhoeddus nad ydynt yn cael eu hariannu'n ddigonol ac anghydraddoldeb cynyddol. Fodd bynnag, o dan lywodraeth Lafur ddiwethaf y DU, roedd tlodi plant yn gostwng. Ac rwy'n canolbwyntio'n arbennig ar dlodi plant, oherwydd plant yn dod allan o dlodi fydd yn eu gweld nhw'n cael bywydau gwell, gwell cyfleoedd, gwell siawns, a gwell mynediad at y pethau hynny fydd yn gwella eu hamgylchiadau, fel gwres, fel bwyd ac fel dillad da. Felly, rwyf i yn credu, pan fyddwn ni'n siarad am benderfyniadau anodd a pholisïau ariannol, fod angen i ni feddwl sut mae'r penderfyniadau anodd hynny yn edrych ar gyfer rhai aelwydydd - fel ailddefnyddio cewynnau budr, dyfrio llaeth fformiwla, a babi'n cysgu mewn drôr a phlentyn saith oed mewn cot teithio oherwydd nad ydych chi'n gallu fforddio gwely. Dyna'r hyn rydych chi'n ei alw'n benderfyniadau anodd mae teuluoedd yn eu gwneud nawr ym Mhrydain heddiw. Maen nhw'n deillio o adroddiad gan yr elusen Little Village, sy'n rhedeg dros 200 o fanciau babanod ledled y DU. Banciau bwyd, banciau cynnes a banciau babanod - mae'r Torïaid yn gwneud llawer iawn o fancio mewn argyfwng. Ac mae hynny'n cael ei roi yng nghyd-destun yr hyn rydyn ni'n ei drafod heddiw. Mae llawer iawn yma sydd wedi symud ymlaen a llawer y gallwn ni ei ddathlu, llongyfarch a chanmol, ond yr her i'r comisiynydd newydd wrth symud ymlaen, fel mae'r adroddiad yn ei nodi, yw helpu i fynd i'r afael â thlodi, ac ymateb i'r tlodi hwnnw rwyf i newydd ei amlinellu, ac rwy'n gwybod bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cyflwyno polisïau, fel yr Haf o Hwyl estynedig, sydd yn yr adroddiad hwnnw, prydau ysgol am ddim i bob disgybl ysgol gynradd - sy'n wirioneddol hanfodol nawr yn ystod yr amser hwn - a'r cynnig gofal plant estynedig, fel y gall rhieni fynd allan i weithio ac ennill rhywfaint o arian a hefyd cael rhywfaint o urddas. Ac mae'r cynllun treialu incwm sylfaenol ar gyfer pobl ifanc sy'n gadael gofal a gafodd ei grybwyll yn gynharach yn gam cadarnhaol. Maen nhw'n cael eu priodoli i'r gred bod pawb yn elwa pan fyddwn ni'n buddsoddi mewn plant a'u teuluoedd, nid pan fyddwn ni'n dwyn dechrau teg a chyfleoedd oddi ar bobl ifanc. Rydw i eisiau canolbwyntio ar blant mewn gofal a'r rhai sy'n gadael gofal. Rwyf am ganolbwyntio'n benodol ar y siarter rhianta corfforaethol, ac mae wedi cael ei argymell gan y comisiynydd bod angen i ni symud i ddeddfwriaeth. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn hynod bwysig bod pob Aelod etholedig yn deall - nid yma, ond ar bob lefel, awdurdod lleol hefyd - mai nhw yw rhiant corfforaethol y plentyn sy'n derbyn gofal, ac nad yw'n wir y gallant ddadlwytho eu hymrwymiadau oherwydd bod y plentyn hwnnw allan o'r sir neu, mewn rhai achosion, achosion hynod o brin, allan o'r wlad. Yr hyn rwy'n credu mae angen i ni ganolbwyntio arno yw pwy sy'n bwydo - . Beth yw'r strwythur a'r mecanwaith ar gyfer bwydo anghenion penodol y person ifanc hwnnw sydd mewn gofal preswyl yn ôl? Beth sy'n digwydd i'r adroddiadau hynny, os oes unrhyw rai - ac ni welais i unrhyw rai pan oeddwn i'n gynghorydd, ond efallai fod pethau wedi symud ymlaen - a phwy sy'n eirioli ar ran y plentyn hwnnw, oherwydd mae eiriolaeth ar ran y plentyn hwnnw yn hynod bwysig? Ac, wrth gwrs, yr hyn rydyn ni wedi'i weld yw proffidioldeb cynyddol sy'n gysylltiedig yn fwy diweddar â chwmnïau sy'n gwneud arian allan o gyni'r plant hynny, sydd yn warthus i mi, mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud. Ac, yn enwedig yn sir Benfro, mae gennym ni dipyn o leoliadau derbyn gofal. Nid wyf yn awgrymu bod y bobl benodol hynny yn elwa'n anghymesur, ond rydym ni'n gwybod bod adroddiadau wedi bod lle mae pobl yn elwa'n anghymesur wrth redeg nifer o fannau ar gyfer plant sy'n derbyn gofal. Felly, mae hwnnw'n faes, rwy'n credu, sydd angen pwyslais penodol. Rydyn ni'n sôn am les y bobl fwyaf agored i niwed yn ein cymdeithas. Diolch.
