English: Thanks to Deffo! and to those who gave evidence to the committee and to Stuart Parkinson as well for e-mailing. Also thank you to Cardiff Deaf Creative Hands. I went there once for a visit and it was really, really informative as well as enjoyable. I don't think the deaf community really gets a fair crack of the whip. I think they're very excluded. When I launched the Propel group in the autumn - or in the summer, actually - we made sure we had somebody signing, as well as the translation. Just listening to what was said earlier, and the fact that in Wales there is one youth worker - one - it's unbelievable that there's only one youth worker who is fluent in BSL, British Sign Language. It's a scandal, really, that. And 'A Curriculum for Wales, A Curriculum for Life?' - the whole point in having devolution, the whole point in developing Welsh institutions is to be different, to be fair, to be innovative, and we have 'A Curriculum for Wales' saying that they don't want, or that they're not going to make sign language a qualification, which is simply wrong, and there should be a political decision to correct that. There's an issue of training as well for teachers. I'm told they only go up to level 3; they don't get further training. Deaf teachers don't have access to all teaching methods. The course for teachers for the deaf at the University of South Wales has just been scrapped. There's a huge issue as well about British Sign Language deprivation and the issue of fatigue in school for pupils who have to lip read with difficulty. I support the recommendations. I think British Sign Language should be a minority language. It should be on the national curriculum and there should be a charter. And I'd maybe like to invite the Minister to visit Cardiff Deaf Creative Hands in this city to see what good work is being done, and maybe you could come along with me, or with the other regional Members, or I'm sure the constituency AM would come along as well. What I'd like you to do this afternoon is to give an undertaking to implement the recommendations of this report. Thank you. [ Signs in BSL. ]
Welsh: Diolch i Deffo! ac i'r rhai a roddodd dystiolaeth i'r pwyllgor ac i Stuart Parkinson yn ogystal am e-bostio. Diolch hefyd i Dwylo Creadigol Byddar Caerdydd. Ymwelais â hwy unwaith ac roedd yn brofiad hynod addysgiadol a phleserus. Nid wyf yn credu bod y gymuned fyddar yn cael chwarae teg. Credaf eu bod yn cael eu heithrio i raddau helaeth. Pan lansiais grŵp Propel yn yr hydref - neu yn yr haf, mewn gwirionedd - fe wnaethom yn siŵr fod gennym rywun yn arwyddo, yn ogystal â chyfieithu. Wrth wrando ar yr hyn a ddywedwyd yn gynharach, a'r ffaith nad oes ond un gweithiwr ieuenctid yng Nghymru gyfan - un - mae'n anghredadwy nad oes ond un gweithiwr ieuenctid sy'n rhugl yn Iaith Arwyddion Prydain. Mae'n warthus, mewn gwirionedd. A 'Cwricwlwm i Gymru, cwricwlwm am oes' - holl bwrpas datganoli, holl bwrpas datblygu sefydliadau Cymreig yw bod yn wahanol, bod yn deg, bod yn arloesol, ac mae gennym 'Cwricwlwm i Gymru' yn dweud nad ydynt eisiau, neu nad ydynt yn mynd o wneud iaith arwyddion yn gymhwyster, sy'n gwbl anghywir, a dylid gwneud penderfyniad gwleidyddol i gywiro hynny. Mae problem yn codi gyda hyfforddiant i athrawon yn ogystal. Rwy'n deall nad ydynt ond yn cyrraedd lefel 3; nid ydynt yn cael hyfforddiant pellach. Nid yw athrawon plant byddar yn cael mynediad at yr holl ddulliau addysgu. Maent newydd gael gwared ar y cwrs ar gyfer athrawon y byddar ym Mhrifysgol De Cymru. Mae yna broblem fawr hefyd o ran diffyg Iaith Arwyddion Prydain a'r blinder sy'n effeithio ar ddisgyblion ysgol sy'n gorfod darllen gwefusau gydag anhawster. Rwy'n cefnogi'r argymhellion. Rwy'n credu y dylai Iaith Arwyddion Prydain fod yn iaith leiafrifol. Dylai fod ar y cwricwlwm cenedlaethol a dylid creu siarter. A hoffwn wahodd y Gweinidog i ymweld â Dwylo Creadigol Byddar Caerdydd yn y ddinas hon i weld y waith da sy'n cael ei wneud, ac efallai y gallech ddod gyda mi, neu gyda'r Aelodau rhanbarthol eraill, ac rwy'n siŵr y byddai AC yr etholaeth yn dod hefyd. Yr hyn yr hoffwn i chi ei wneud y prynhawn yma yw ymrwymo i weithredu argymhellion yr adroddiad hwn. Diolch. [ Arwyddo mewn BSL. ]
