English: Thank you very much indeed, Leanne Wood. It's very important that you draw attention to the actual lived experience of victims of hate crime and that you draw attention to the evidence and the statistics of those who are actually supporting victims of hate crime. We need to acknowledge that and recognise that as well, indeed, as the Home Office statistics. I mentioned the inappropriate way in which the Home Office inappropriately imposed the Penally army camp and then designated it as a centre to accommodate asylum seekers in the way that they did, without consultation or engagement with the local community and local services. And I'd also join you to acknowledge the courage of local people and, indeed, of elected representatives like Councillor Josh Beynon and others. But I have raised the issue of the Penally camp, and not only myself, but the First Minister, who's written three times to the Home Secretary and wrote again to Chris Philp on 9 October. In his letter, he said, 'I'm writing urgently about the continuing and deeply concerning state of affairs at Penally training camp in Pembrokeshire'. I think one of the things about this and the way that it's happened is it has enabled far-right extremist views to come through and blight the lives of those asylum seekers and the local community. We know that far-right extremism exists in the UK; it is our shared duty to combat it. But I would say that, actually, there's a lot of support being rallied to support the asylum seekers who've been transferred to the Penally army training camp in Pembrokeshire. Migrant Help is co-ordinating offers of support, I've met with the faith communities forum and the local churches, the imam is engaged, there's the Oasis centre providing English language tuition, Victim Support is engaging with individuals relating to hate crime, and many other organisations, as well as the local community, are seeking to understand and plug gaps in services where they are able. So, I'm glad that Leanne Wood has brought this to me in questions on this statement, but I would also say that, as she said, it's vital that we do reach out to our children and young people. We had already awarded funding to a range of organisations to tackle hate crime, particularly with schools and with young people. We have a £350,000 hate crime in schools project; that's been funded with EU transition funding. The whole purpose is to create a school climate in which prejudice and hate-motivated behaviour are not acceptable, but that allows children to develop diverse viewpoints and opinions. It was paused by COVID-19, but, in fact, that project is going to move forward in terms of staff training, classroom activity, resource packs, engaging with children and young people at key stage 2 and early key stage 3, often excluded from conversations relating to hate crime, and that work is going to now progress.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Leanne Wood. Mae'n bwysig iawn eich bod chi'n tynnu sylw at brofiad byw gwirioneddol dioddefwyr troseddau casineb a'ch bod chi'n tynnu sylw at dystiolaeth ac ystadegau'r rhai sy'n cefnogi dioddefwyr troseddau casineb mewn gwirionedd. Mae angen inni gydnabod hynny a chydnabod hynny, yn wir, yn ogystal ag ystadegau'r Swyddfa Gartref. Soniais am y ffordd amhriodol y gorfodwyd gwersyll byddin Penalun yn anghymwys gan y Swyddfa Gartref ac yna ei glustnodi'n ganolfan i letya ceiswyr lloches, a'r modd y gwnaed hynny, heb ymgynghori nac ymgysylltu â'r gymuned leol a gwasanaethau lleol. Ac fe fyddwn innau'n ymuno â chi i gydnabod dewrder pobl leol ac, yn wir, gynrychiolwyr etholedig fel y Cynghorydd Josh Beynon ac eraill. Ond rwyf wedi codi mater gwersyll Penalun, ac nid myfi yn unig, ond y Prif Weinidog hefyd, sydd wedi ysgrifennu dair gwaith at yr Ysgrifennydd Cartref ac wedi ysgrifennu at Chris Philp ar 9 Hydref. Yn ei lythyr, fe ddywedodd, 'Rwy'n ysgrifennu ar fyrder am y sefyllfa barhaus sy'n peri pryder mawr yng ngwersyll hyfforddi Penalun yn Sir Benfro. Credaf mai un o'r pethau am hyn a'r ffordd y digwyddodd yw ei fod wedi rhoi hwb i safbwyntiau asgell dde eithafol ddod i'r wyneb a difetha bywydau'r ceiswyr lloches hynny yn ogystal â'r gymuned leol. Fe wyddom fod yr asgell dde eithafol yn bodoli yn y DU; ein dyletswydd gyffredin ni yw ei gwrthsefyll. Ond rwyf am ddweud bod llawer o gefnogaeth yn cael ei rhoi i gefnogi'r ceiswyr lloches a gafodd eu symud i wersyll hyfforddi byddin Penalun yn Sir Benfro. Mae Cymorth Mudol yn cydlynu cynigion o gefnogaeth, rwyf i wedi cyfarfod â'r fforwm cymunedau ffydd a'r eglwysi lleol, mae'r imam yn cymryd rhan, mae canolfan Oasis yn darparu hyfforddiant i ddysgu Saesneg, mae Cymorth i Ddioddefwyr yn ymgysylltu ag unigolion sy'n ymwneud â throseddau casineb, ac mae llawer o sefydliadau eraill, yn ogystal â'r gymuned leol, yn ceisio deall a llenwi'r bylchau yn y gwasanaethau lle mae modd. Felly, rwy'n falch bod Leanne Wood wedi dod â hyn ger fy mron mewn cwestiynau ar y datganiad hwn. Ond hoffwn ddweud hefyd, fel y dywedodd hithau, ei bod yn hanfodol bwysig ein bod ni'n ymestyn allan at ein plant a'n pobl ifanc ni. Roeddem eisoes wedi dyfarnu cyllid i amrywiaeth o sefydliadau i fynd i'r afael â throseddau casineb, yn enwedig gydag ysgolion a chyda phobl ifanc. Mae gennym brosiect troseddau casineb gwerth £350,000 mewn ysgolion; fe gafodd hwnnw ei ariannu gyda chyllid pontio'r UE. Yr holl bwrpas yw creu hinsawdd ysgol lle nad yw rhagfarn nac ymddygiad casineb yn dderbyniol, ond yn caniatáu i blant ddatblygu safbwyntiau a barn amrywiol. Fe gafodd hyn ei ohirio gan COVID-19, ond, mewn gwirionedd, mae'r prosiect hwnnw'n mynd i symud ymlaen o ran hyfforddiant staff, gweithgarwch yn yr ystafell ddosbarth, pecynnau adnoddau, ymgysylltu â phlant a phobl ifanc yng nghyfnod allweddol 2 a chyfnod allweddol 3 cynnar, sy'n aml yn cael eu heithrio o sgyrsiau sy'n ymwneud â throseddau casineb, a bydd y gwaith hwnnw'n mynd yn ei flaen nawr.
