English: Deputy Presiding Officer, could I, first of all, thank Suzy Davies for her comments and questions? With regard to the summer, I think the holidays provide a wonderful opportunity to look to support a number of activities to ensure that our children, who have really missed that social contact that Suzy talked about, have an opportunity to do just that. The Member will be aware of our very successful Food and Fun activities that have run in local authorities across Wales since I came into office. We have doubled the amount of funding available to the Welsh Local Government Association to ensure that that programme reaches many more children, and I continue to explore, with my officials, how we can best use the summer holidays as part of our learning 2021 programme, not to have academic lessons but look to employ a range of approaches, both cultural, creative, sporting, access to the outdoors, working with partner organisations and the third sector, to enhance, even above and beyond the Food and Fun activities, because we recognise that, for many children, that interaction and that opportunity to develop their resilience and learn in a different way will be an important part of how we can respond positively to the impact the pandemic has had on their lives. With regard to who will look at the framework, well, the framework will have an evaluation arm of its own, but crucially, when face-to-face inspections are ready to go again and are reintroduced at the appropriate time, the new inspection framework from Estyn itself will look at how schools are addressing issues around well-being so that there is an added incentive, if you like, for the schools to actively engage in the framework, because that is one way in which they will be able to demonstrate to inspectors how they are addressing these needs within their school. So, I have every confidence that the framework will be used. In fact, what the framework does allow is some clarity for schools that in the past have been bombarded by different approaches, different types of programmes, which can be really, really sometimes confusing, sometimes contradictory. The framework gives a clear plan, and we will be using resources to ensure that there are people in Public Health Wales to support the schools in the use of the framework. So, those individuals are being identified at the moment so that there will be support there for schools in how they use the framework and how they can shape their work from that perspective. You're absolutely right: traditional school counselling is not appropriate for our youngest children. The whole premise of counselling is that you are able to make some changes in your own life, and the ability of a five-year-old or six-year-old to do that, of course - it's not appropriate. Therefore, although I used the example of traditional counselling in my opening statement, local authorities have been also using different approaches to support younger children, whether that be play-based approaches, for instance, or whether that be family therapy and family-based approaches, as well as then, in schools, ensuring that more and more of our practitioners have ACE awareness training. And the framework absolutely gives that freedom for schools to become trauma-informed practitioners. The use of nurture programmes within our primary sectors - all of which we know are particularly effective in our youngest children. And, of course, some schools are choosing to use some of their pupil development grant to look at supporting children's education with innovative approaches. Only yesterday, I was in Roath Park Primary School, where they are engaging in a programme that brings a dog to school, a therapy dog, and the children actually engage, walking the dog in the local park, and the counsellor encourages the child to talk about their challenges with the dog and that interaction actually is proving very successful. I know that the school has used it to support a child who has been bereaved during the pandemic, not from COVID - unfortunately, the child's mum had terminal cancer and has passed away - and the dog has been really, really useful in a really non-challenging way for that child to express their feelings. And I did meet a child yesterday who has been out walking the dog, whose parents are front-line NHS workers, and the impact of the pandemic on that child has made him really anxious about his mum and dad's safety, because they're both medics and he's been really, really anxious about his mum and dad being safe and well. So, there are really innovative approaches and schools are taking this very seriously. Finally, can I just say that there is absolute determination, both within the education department and the health department, to work jointly on this project? And the resources that we've been able to put into the programme have come from both budgets. I take your point about the transparency, sometimes, of the ability to follow the impact of those inputs, but we will continue, I'm sure, in the next Senedd - not you and I, but other people - to discuss how that greater transparency can be achieved. But I have been really pleased with the joint departmental working that we've been able to achieve and the ability to harness resources from both budget lines to be able to enhance these services.
Welsh: Dirprwy Lywydd, a gaf i yn gyntaf oll, ddiolch i Suzy Davies am ei sylwadau a'i chwestiynau? O ran yr haf, rwy'n credu bod y gwyliau'n gyfle gwych i geisio cefnogi nifer o weithgareddau i sicrhau bod ein plant, sydd wedi colli'r cyswllt cymdeithasol hwnnw y soniodd Suzy amdano, yn cael cyfle i wneud yr union beth hwnnw. Bydd yr Aelod yn ymwybodol o'n gweithgareddau Bwyd a Hwyl llwyddiannus iawn sydd wedi'u gweithredu mewn awdurdodau lleol ledled Cymru ers i mi ddechrau ar fy swydd. Rydym wedi dyblu'r swm o arian sydd ar gael i Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru i sicrhau bod y rhaglen honno'n cyrraedd llawer mwy o blant, ac rwy'n dal i archwilio, gyda'm swyddogion, y ffordd orau o ddefnyddio gwyliau'r haf fel rhan o'n rhaglen dysgu yn 2021, nid cael gwersi academaidd ond ceisio defnyddio amrywiaeth o ddulliau, yn ddiwylliannol, yn greadigol, chwaraeon, mynediad i'r awyr agored, gweithio gyda sefydliadau partner a'r trydydd sector, i wella, hyd yn oed y tu hwnt i'r gweithgareddau Bwyd a Hwyl, oherwydd rydym yn cydnabod, i lawer o blant, bydd rhyngweithio a'r cyfle hwnnw i ddatblygu eu cydnerthedd a dysgu mewn ffordd wahanol yn rhan bwysig o sut y gallwn ni ymateb yn gadarnhaol i'r effaith y mae'r pandemig wedi'i chael ar eu bywydau. O ran pwy fydd yn edrych ar y fframwaith, wel, bydd gan y fframwaith gangen werthuso ei hun, ond yn hollbwysig, pan fydd arolygiadau wyneb yn wyneb yn barod i ddechrau eto ac yn cael eu hailgyflwyno ar yr adeg briodol, bydd y fframwaith arolygu newydd gan Estyn ei hun yn edrych ar sut mae ysgolion yn mynd i'r afael â materion sy'n ymwneud â llesiant fel bod cymhelliant ychwanegol, os hoffech chi, i'r ysgolion gymryd rhan weithredol yn y fframwaith, oherwydd dyna un ffordd y byddan nhw'n yn gallu dangos i arolygwyr sut y maen nhw'n mynd i'r afael â'r anghenion hyn yn eu hysgol. Felly, mae gennyf bob ffydd y bydd y fframwaith yn cael ei ddefnyddio. Yn wir, yr hyn y mae'r fframwaith yn ei ganiatáu yw rhywfaint o eglurder i ysgolion sydd wedi bod â llwyth o wahanol ddulliau yn y gorffennol, gwahanol fathau o raglenni, a all fod yn ddryslyd weithiau, weithiau'n anghyson. Mae'r fframwaith yn rhoi cynllun clir, a byddwn ni'n defnyddio adnoddau i sicrhau bod pobl ar gael yn Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru i gefnogi'r ysgolion i ddefnyddio'r fframwaith. Felly, mae'r unigolion hynny'n cael eu nodi ar hyn o bryd fel y bydd cymorth yno i ysgolion yn y ffordd y maen nhw'n defnyddio'r fframwaith a sut y gallan nhw lunio eu gwaith o'r safbwynt hwnnw. Rydych chi yn llygad eich lle: nid yw cwnsela traddodiadol mewn ysgolion yn briodol i'n plant ieuengaf. Holl ddiben cwnsela yw eich bod yn gallu gwneud rhai newidiadau yn eich bywyd eich hun, ac nid yw gallu plentyn pum mlwydd oed neu chwech oed i wneud hynny, wrth gwrs - yn briodol. Felly, er imi ddefnyddio'r enghraifft o gwnsela traddodiadol yn fy natganiad agoriadol, mae awdurdodau lleol hefyd wedi bod yn defnyddio dulliau gwahanol i gefnogi plant iau, boed hynny'n ddulliau sy'n seiliedig ar chwarae, er enghraifft, neu'n therapi teuluol a dulliau teuluol, yn ogystal ag ysgolion yn sicrhau bod mwy a mwy o'n hymarferwyr yn cael hyfforddiant ymwybyddiaeth o brofiadau niweidiol yn ystod plentyndod. Ac mae'r fframwaith yn rhoi'r rhyddid hwnnw i ysgolion ddod yn ymarferwyr ar sail trawma. Y defnydd o raglenni anogaeth yn ein sectorau cynradd - y gwyddom ni fod pob un ohonyn nhw'n arbennig o effeithiol ymysg ein plant ieuengaf. Ac, wrth gwrs, mae rhai ysgolion yn dewis defnyddio rhywfaint o'u grant datblygu disgyblion i geisio cefnogi addysg plant gyda dulliau arloesol. Ddoe ddiwethaf, roeddwn yn Ysgol Gynradd Parc y Rhath, lle maen nhw'n cymryd rhan mewn rhaglen sy'n cyflwyno ci i'r ysgol, ci therapi, a'r plant yn ymgysylltu mewn gwirionedd, yn cerdded y ci yn y parc lleol, ac mae'r cwnselydd yn annog y plentyn i siarad am ei heriau â'r ci ac mae rhyngweithio mewn gwirionedd yn llwyddiannus iawn. Gwn fod yr ysgol wedi'i ddefnyddio i gefnogi plentyn sydd wedi cael profedigaeth yn ystod y pandemig, nid o COVID - yn anffodus, roedd gan fam y plentyn ganser terfynol ac mae hi wedi marw - ac mae'r ci wedi bod yn wirioneddol ddefnyddiol mewn ffordd ddi-her i'r plentyn hwnnw fynegi ei deimladau. A chwrddais â phlentyn ddoe oedd wedi bod allan yn cerdded y ci, y mae ei rieni'n weithwyr rheng flaen y GIG, ac mae effaith y pandemig ar y plentyn hwnnw wedi ei wneud yn bryderus iawn ynghylch diogelwch ei fam a'i dad, oherwydd eu bod ill dau'n feddygon ac mae wedi bod yn poeni llawer am iechyd a diogelwch ei fam a'i dad. Felly, mae dulliau arloesol iawn ac mae ysgolion yn cymryd hyn o ddifrif. Yn olaf, a gaf i ddweud bod yr adran addysg a'r adran iechyd yn benderfynol o weithio ar y cyd ar y prosiect hwn? Ac mae'r adnoddau yr ydym ni wedi gallu eu rhoi yn y rhaglen wedi dod o'r ddwy gyllideb. Rwy'n derbyn eich pwynt am dryloywder, weithiau, y gallu i ddilyn effaith y mewnbynnau hynny, ond byddwn yn parhau, rwy'n siŵr, yn y Senedd nesaf - nid chi a fi, ond pobl eraill - i drafod sut y gellir sicrhau'r tryloywder hwnnw. Ond rwyf wedi bod yn falch iawn o'r cydweithio adrannol yr ydym ni wedi gallu ei gyflawni a'r gallu i harneisio adnoddau o'r ddwy linell gyllideb er mwyn gallu gwella'r gwasanaethau hyn.
