English: Thank you, Simon. As I said, my primary responsibility in the field of education is to ensure that local authorities that have a current duty to know whether a child is in receipt of an adequate education are exercising those functions, and what extra support they need to exercise those functions adequately. I have accepted the children's commissioner's recommendation for a compulsory register in principle, and officials are actively working on how that could be established and, crucially, implemented. But I also recognise that, for many families that decide to home educate, there are a variety of reasons for that. Sometimes they feel they don't get the support from the local education authority, whether that be exam entrance or access to Hwb, which they currently are not allowed to have. And working across the department - because it has to be a cross-department approach - education can't safeguard every child on its own and we can only ask questions with regards to relationship with education. There's some debate whether that conversation should happen in the home, or whether that conversation could happen somewhere else, whether that conversation should happen in the presence of parents, or whether that child should be seen on their own. These are complex issues where we have to balance the rights of the family against the rights of those children, and we will be looking at good practice across the United Kingdom - indeed, across the world - as we, across the Government, look to take this agenda forward. I think we have to recognise that a register with regards to home education, on its own, cannot provide all the protection that I know that you and I would want to see for our children.
Welsh: Diolch, Simon. Fel y dywedais, fy mhrif gyfrifoldeb ym maes addysg yw sicrhau bod yr awdurdodau lleol sydd â'r ddyletswydd bresennol i wybod a yw plentyn yn derbyn addysg ddigonol yn arfer y swyddogaethau hynny, a pha gymorth ychwanegol sydd ei angen arnynt i arfer y swyddogaethau hynny'n ddigonol. Rwyf wedi derbyn argymhelliad y comisiynydd plant i gyflwyno cofrestr orfodol mewn egwyddor, ac mae swyddogion wrthi'n gweithio ar sut y gellid ei sefydlu, ac yn hollbwysig, ei rhoi ar waith. Ond rwy'n cydnabod hefyd, i lawer o deuluoedd sy'n penderfynu addysgu yn y cartref, fod amrywiaeth o resymau dros hynny. Weithiau maent yn teimlo nad ydynt yn cael cymorth gan yr awdurdod addysg lleol, boed hynny mewn perthynas â sefyll arholiadau neu fynediad at Hwb, gan na chaniateir hynny ar hyn o bryd. A gweithio ar draws yr adran - gan fod yn rhaid cael ymagwedd drawsadrannol - ni all yr adran addysg ar ei phen ei hun ddiogelu pob plentyn, a chwestiynau sy'n ymwneud â'r berthynas ag addysg yn unig y gallwn eu gofyn. Ceir rhywfaint o ddadlau ynglŷn ag a ddylid cael y sgwrs honno yn y cartref, neu a allai'r sgwrs ddigwydd yn rhywle arall, a ddylai'r sgwrs ddigwydd yng ngŵydd y rhieni, neu a ddylid gweld y plentyn hwnnw ar ei ben ei hun. Mae'r rhain yn faterion cymhleth lle y mae'n rhaid inni sicrhau cydbwysedd rhwng hawliau'r teulu a hawliau'r plant, a byddwn yn edrych ar arferion da ledled y Deyrnas Unedig - yn wir, ledled y byd - wrth i ni, ar draws y Llywodraeth, geisio bwrw ymlaen â'r agenda hon. Credaf fod yn rhaid inni gydnabod na all cofrestr mewn perthynas ag addysg yn y cartref, ar ei phen ei hun, ddarparu'r holl ddiogelwch y gwn y buaswn innau a chithau'n dymuno ei weld ar gyfer ein plant.
