English: Well, Lynne, I would be delighted to visit the staff and to see for myself the nature of their work, which I know has been greatly valued by you, as the local Member, schools in the area and, most importantly of all, the parents and young people who are directly affected by that service. My understanding is that the review will be completed before the end of the current school term, and that the review will indeed take the opportunity to meet with political leaders and senior managers in each of the local authorities, SenCom staff themselves and parents whose children are in receipt of the service. And, as I gave my assurance to you earlier, my officials will be keeping a very close eye to ensure that that timetable is met. But I would be delighted, as I said, to visit the service for myself. And can I take this opportunity to thank you, as well as other Members who have taken a keen interest in this, and also the leader of Torfaen council, Councillor Anthony Hunt, who has shown great leadership in this regard and a great passion for this service? I'm grateful to everybody involved.
Welsh: Wel, Lynne, buaswn wrth fy modd yn ymweld â'r staff ac yn gweld natur eu gwaith â fy llygaid fy hun, gan y gwn ei fod yn cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr gennych chi, fel yr Aelod lleol, ysgolion yn yr ardal, ac yn bwysicaf oll, y rhieni a'r bobl ifanc sy'n cael eu heffeithio'n uniongyrchol gan y gwasanaeth hwnnw. Yn ôl yr hyn a ddeallaf, bydd yr adolygiad wedi'i gwblhau cyn diwedd y tymor ysgol hwn, a bydd yr adolygiad, yn wir, yn manteisio ar y cyfle i gyfarfod ag arweinwyr gwleidyddol ac uwch reolwyr ym mhob un o'r awdurdodau lleol, staff SenCom eu hunain a rhieni'r plant sy'n derbyn y gwasanaeth. Ac fel y rhoddais sicrwydd i chi yn gynharach, bydd fy swyddogion yn cadw llygad barcud ar bethau i sicrhau y cedwir at yr amserlen honno. Ond buaswn wrth fy modd, fel y dywedais, yn ymweld â'r gwasanaeth fy hun. A gaf fi fachu ar y cyfle hwn i ddiolch i chi, yn ogystal ag Aelodau eraill sydd wedi dangos cryn ddiddordeb yn y mater hwn, ac arweinydd cyngor Torfaen, y Cynghorydd Anthony Hunt, sydd wedi dangos arweinyddiaeth wych yn hyn o beth a chryn frwdfrydedd ynghylch y gwasanaeth hwn? Rwy'n ddiolchgar i bawb sy'n ymwneud ag ef.
English: I also agree with the comments that Lynne Neagle has made. We have been asking you and, indeed, the First Minister about this issue for some time. I welcome the agreements that have been put in place by the five local authority leaders so that SenCom, a very valuable service, will continue in its current form until 2022, I think I'm right in saying. This should give greater security to the skilled staff. It has to be said, Minister, that we ended up in this position because one of the partners - at least one of the partners - gave six months' notice, I think it was, about their decision to withdraw. I appreciate there are pressures on local authorities, but, really, we don't want this sort of situation to happen again with such short notice in future. So, I wonder whether you could tell us what steps you could take to make sure that this sort of situation doesn't arise in the future and that vulnerable children are given the security that they need to make sure that these sorts of services are going to continue to be available to them.
Welsh: Rwyf innau'n cytuno â'r sylwadau a wnaed gan Lynne Neagle. Rydym wedi bod yn eich holi, ac yn wir, yn holi'r Prif Weinidog ynglŷn â'r mater hwn ers peth amser. Croesawaf y cytundebau a roddwyd ar waith gan bum arweinydd yr awdurdodau lleol er mwyn i SenCom, gwasanaeth gwerthfawr iawn, allu parhau ar ei ffurf bresennol - hyd at 2022, rwy'n credu. Dylai hyn roi mwy o sicrwydd i'r staff medrus. Mae'n rhaid dweud, Weinidog, ein bod wedi cyrraedd y sefyllfa hon am fod un o'r partneriaid - o leiaf un o'r partneriaid - wedi rhoi chwe mis o rybudd, rwy'n credu, ynglŷn â'u penderfyniad i dynnu'n ôl. Rwy'n deall bod pwysau ar awdurdodau lleol, ond o ddifrif, nid ydym am i'r sefyllfa hon godi eto gyda chyn lleied o rybudd yn y dyfodol. Felly, tybed a allech ddweud wrthym pa gamau y gallech eu cymryd i sicrhau na cheir sefyllfa debyg i hon yn y dyfodol a bod plant agored i niwed yn cael y sicrwydd sydd ei angen arnynt i wneud yn siŵr fod y mathau hyn o wasanaethau'n parhau i fod ar gael iddynt.
English: Can I thank the Member for his recognition of the value of the SenCom service in his area? It is, indeed, a matter of regret to me that there has been any alarm or confusion caused in this process. It's been a difficult time, I know, for the staff and for the families. Undoubtedly, as you said, there are pressures on councils' budgets. That means, actually, we need councils to work more closely together on more areas, rather than think that they're able to deliver a comprehensive service by working on their own. In these specialist areas, it is by working together and pooling resources to create a regional service that we can best meet the needs of children and young people who have very, very specific support needs.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei gydnabyddiaeth o werth gwasanaeth SenCom yn ei ardal? Mae'n achos pryder i mi, yn wir, fod unrhyw fraw neu ddryswch wedi'i achosi yn sgil y broses hon. Gwn ei fod wedi bod yn gyfnod anodd i'r staff ac i'r teuluoedd. Heb os, fel y dywedoch chi, mae pwysau ar gyllidebau cynghorau. Golyga hynny, mewn gwirionedd, fod arnom angen i gynghorau weithio'n agosach gyda'i gilydd ar fwy o feysydd, yn hytrach na meddwl y gallant ddarparu gwasanaeth cynhwysfawr drwy weithio ar eu pennau eu hunain. Yn y meysydd arbenigol hyn, drwy gydweithio a chronni adnoddau i greu gwasanaeth rhanbarthol, gallwn ddiwallu anghenion plant a phobl ifanc sydd ag anghenion penodol iawn o ran cymorth.
English: Thank you, Jenny. Our current curriculum provides young people with opportunities to explore a wide range of issues related to cooking and healthy eating, and with the introduction of our new curriculum the health and well-being area of learning and experience will re-enforce this provision.
Welsh: Diolch, Jenny. Mae ein cwricwlwm presennol yn rhoi cyfleoedd i bobl ifanc archwilio ystod eang o faterion sy'n ymwneud â choginio a bwyta'n iach, a chyda chyflwyno ein cwricwlwm newydd, bydd maes dysgu a phrofiad iechyd a lles yn atgyfnerthu'r ddarpariaeth hon.
English: It was, indeed, fabulous this morning to be at Howardian Primary School, one of our new twenty-first century schools, and to listen to the children talk so enthusiastically about how one of the best aspects of their new school building is the cookery room. They have been busy making cawl and cake and various other items, and that was very, very pleasing to see. With regards to GCSE entries into food and nutrition, entries in 2018 stood at 1,960. Entries in this summer series stand at 2,120, so we've seen an increase this year in the number of students taking that particular qualification. With regards to skills, regional skills partnerships are continuing to strengthen, and that gives us an opportunity to influence courses and training opportunities that are available, either in our further education colleges or in our higher education provision. We will need to continue to strengthen those RSPs and ensure that we have the training opportunities and qualifications at an even higher level available for those people, and be able to signpost them into what a rewarding career horticulture, food, nutrition and agriculture can be.
Welsh: Yn wir, roedd yn wych bod yn Ysgol Gynradd Howardian y bore yma, un o'n hysgolion newydd yr unfed ganrif ar hugain, a gwrando ar y plant yn dweud mor frwdfrydig mai'r ystafell goginio yw un o'r agweddau gorau ar eu hadeilad ysgol newydd. Maent wedi bod yn brysur yn gwneud cawl a theisennau ac eitemau amrywiol eraill, ac roedd yn braf iawn gweld hynny. O ran y nifer sy'n gwneud TGAU mewn bwyd a maeth, cafwyd 1,960 o gofrestriadau yn 2018. Cafwyd 2,120 o gofrestriadau hyd yma yr haf hwn, felly rydym wedi gweld cynnydd eleni yn nifer y myfyrwyr sy'n ymgeisio am y cymhwyster penodol hwnnw. O ran sgiliau, mae partneriaethau sgiliau rhanbarthol yn parhau i gryfhau, ac mae hynny'n rhoi cyfle i ni ddylanwadu ar gyrsiau a chyfleoedd hyfforddi sydd ar gael, naill ai yn ein colegau addysg bellach neu yn ein darpariaeth addysg uwch. Bydd angen i ni barhau i gryfhau'r Partneriaethau Sgiliau Rhanbarthol hynny a sicrhau bod gennym gyfleoedd hyfforddi a chymwysterau ar gael i'r bobl hyn ar lefel uwch eto, a gallu eu cyfeirio at yr hyn y gall gyrfa werth chweil mewn garddwriaeth, bwyd, maeth ac amaethyddiaeth ei gynnig.
English: Minister, the core food competences framework was reviewed by all the administrations in the UK in 2014, and 'Food - a fact of life' draft guidelines were published in February. I wonder when full guidance will now be issued, and how will it be introduced into the new curriculum?
Welsh: Weinidog, adolygwyd y fframwaith cymwyseddau bwyd craidd gan holl weinyddiaethau'r DU yn 2014, a chyhoeddwyd canllawiau drafft 'Bwyd - ffaith bywyd' ym mis Chwefror. Tybed pryd y bydd y canllawiau llawn yn cael eu cyhoeddi, a sut y cânt eu cyflwyno i'r cwricwlwm newydd?
English: David, as I said earlier, health and well-being is an important new addition to the curriculum in Wales, and you will see from the 'what matters' statement that enabling children to make healthy choices about the food that they eat and the activities that they participate in will be an important part of what we expect children to learn. I will need to write to the Member with regard to the latest update on publication of guidance. FootnoteLink
Welsh: David, fel y dywedais yn gynharach, mae iechyd a lles yn ychwanegiad newydd pwysig i'r cwricwlwm yng Nghymru, a byddwch yn gweld o'r datganiad 'beth sy'n bwysig' fod galluogi plant i wneud dewisiadau iach am y bwyd y maent yn ei fwyta a'r gweithgareddau y byddant yn cymryd rhan ynddynt yn rhan bwysig o'r hyn rydym yn disgwyl i blant ei ddysgu. Bydd angen i mi ysgrifennu at yr Aelod mewn perthynas â'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf ar gyhoeddi canllawiau. FootnoteLink
English: Our message is clear: exclusion should be used as a last resort. Where exclusion cannot be avoided, our exclusion guidance sets out the support schools and local authorities must put in place for all children who have been excluded from school and from pupil referral units.
Welsh: Mae ein neges yn glir: dylid defnyddio gwahardd fel dewis olaf. Lle na ellir osgoi gwahardd, mae ein canllawiau gwahardd yn nodi'r cymorth y mae'n rhaid i ysgolion ac awdurdodau lleol ei roi ar waith ar gyfer pob plentyn sydd wedi'u gwahardd o'r ysgol ac o unedau cyfeirio disgyblion.
English: Thank you, Mark. A significant proportion of the £20 million ALN transformation programme funding will be used to support activity to upskill the workforce so that they can better recognise and better meet the needs of all learners with ALN and learners with autism. And that's one of the reasons why we have taken through our ALN legislation and why we are committed to reforming it. Under the new system, the learner will be placed at the heart of the process, and better collaboration between agencies will be encouraged, and that's to ensure that the needs of learners are identified early and the right support is put in place for them so that their educational opportunities can be properly met and their aspirations reached.
Welsh: Diolch, Mark. Bydd cyfran sylweddol o'r £20 miliwn o gyllid y rhaglen drawsnewid ADY yn cael ei defnyddio i gefnogi gweithgarwch i uwchsgilio'r gweithlu er mwyn iddynt allu adnabod a diwallu anghenion yr holl ddysgwyr sydd ag ADY ac awtistiaeth yn well. A dyna un o'r rhesymau pam ein bod wedi cyflwyno ein deddfwriaeth ADY a pham ein bod wedi ymrwymo i'w diwygio. O dan y system newydd, bydd y dysgwr wrth wraidd y broses, a bydd cydweithredu gwell rhwng asiantaethau yn cael ei annog, er mwyn sicrhau bod anghenion dysgwyr yn cael eu nodi'n gynnar a bod y gefnogaeth gywir yn cael ei rhoi ar waith iddynt fel y gellir cyflawni eu cyfleoedd addysgol a'u dyheadau yn briodol.
English: I wholly endorse what the Minister has said about exclusions needing to be an absolute last resort. Sadly they are sometimes necessary, and as well as children then perhaps being educated at home, in academic terms, for a short time, those children lose out on a whole range of social opportunities that are associated with being in school, and all kinds of other learning and access to sport. What are the Minister's expectations of local authorities with regard to how such children, who perhaps only temporarily are being taught at home, but who are being taught at home, are unable to participate in activities like sport, like art, music, drama - some of the enrichment activities that go beyond the purely academic curriculum?
Welsh: Rwy'n llwyr gefnogi'r hyn y mae'r Gweinidog wedi'i ddweud ynglŷn â'r angen i waharddiadau fod yn ddewis olaf. Yn anffodus, maent weithiau'n angenrheidiol, ac yn ogystal â phlant efallai'n cael eu haddysgu gartref wedyn, mewn termau academaidd, am gyfnod byr, mae'r plant hynny'n colli ystod eang o gyfleoedd cymdeithasol sy'n gysylltiedig â bod yn yr ysgol, a phob math o ddysgu arall a mynediad at chwaraeon. Beth y mae'r Gweinidog yn ei ddisgwyl gan awdurdodau lleol o ran sut y mae plant o'r fath, sydd efallai'n cael eu haddysgu gartref dros dro yn unig, ond sy'n cael eu haddysgu gartref, yn methu cymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau fel chwaraeon, fel celf, cerddoriaeth, drama - rhai o'r gweithgareddau cyfoethogi sy'n mynd y tu hwnt i'r cwricwlwm academaidd pur?
English: Can I just take this opportunity again to say that exclusion should be an absolute last resort? I recognise that we have got more to do to ensure that schools and individual practitioners are better supported to understand why children have difficulties in school that can result in behaviour that ultimately, in some cases, leads to exclusion. Only this week in the 'Mind over matter' group, we were talking again about the need to improve support for teachers with regard to understanding the process of adolescence - literally, the neurological changes that can't be seen as a child goes through puberty, which mean that sometimes their behaviour might not be particularly good - but a better understanding of the challenges that adolescence brings. We are absolutely clear, where a child has to be excluded, that there is a responsibility for both the school and for the local authority to ensure that that child has access to a range of opportunities, both academic and social. We are currently working on the implementation of our education other than at school improvement plan, because we do know that curriculum opportunities can be severely curtailed for those children who find themselves out of school. Clearly, that is not in their best interests in many cases.
Welsh: A gaf fi gymryd y cyfle hwn i ddweud unwaith eto y dylai gwahardd fod yn ddewis olaf? Rwy'n cydnabod bod mwy gennym i'w wneud i sicrhau bod ysgolion ac addysgwyr unigol yn cael gwell cefnogaeth i ddeall pam fod plant yn cael anawsterau yn yr ysgol a all arwain at ymddygiad sydd, yn y pen draw, mewn rhai achosion, yn arwain at waharddiadau. Yr wythnos hon yn y grŵp 'Cadernid Meddwl', buom yn sôn eto am yr angen i wella cefnogaeth i athrawon mewn perthynas â deall proses y glasoed - yn llythrennol, y newidiadau niwrolegol na ellir eu gweld wrth i blentyn fynd drwy'r glasoed, sy'n golygu, weithiau, nad yw eu hymddygiad yn arbennig o dda - ond gwell dealltwriaeth o'r heriau y mae'r glasoed yn eu hachosi. Rydym yn gwbl glir, lle mae'n rhaid gwahardd plentyn, fod gan yr ysgol a'r awdurdod lleol gyfrifoldeb i sicrhau bod y plentyn hwnnw'n cael mynediad at ystod o gyfleoedd, yn academaidd ac yn gymdeithasol. Rydym yn gweithio ar hyn o bryd ar weithredu ein cynllun gwella addysg heblaw yn yr ysgol, gan y gwyddom fod cyfleoedd cwricwlwm yn gallu cael eu cyfyngu'n ddifrifol ar gyfer y plant y tu allan i'r ysgol. Yn amlwg, nid yw hynny er eu lles gorau mewn llawer o achosion.
English: Far fewer pupils are actually excluded in Wales than in the middle of the last decade, from over 450 in 2004-05 to just 150 in 2016-17. So, Minister, would you agree with me that this is to be warmly welcomed and that pupils are best served in nurturing and supportive education environments, and that such positive outcomes validate the progressive guidance issued by the Welsh Government formerly in 2012, setting out how exclusion should be used and to do so permanently should be, as has been stated today, a final step in the disciplinary process? So, Minister, how can Welsh Government monitor consistency of understanding of this philosophy throughout Wales so that wherever a child lives they experience the same determination for minimising exclusions, irrespective of the location and educational needs?
Welsh: Mae llai o lawer o ddisgyblion yn cael eu gwahardd yng Nghymru nag yng nghanol y degawd diwethaf, o dros 450 yn 2004-05 i 150 yn unig yn 2016-17. Felly, Weinidog, a fyddech yn cytuno y dylid croesawu'r ffaith hon, a bod disgyblion yn cael eu gwasanaethu orau mewn amgylcheddau addysg meithringar a chefnogol, a bod canlyniadau cadarnhaol o'r fath yn dilysu'r canllawiau blaengar a gyhoeddwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn 2012, a oedd yn nodi sut y dylid defnyddio gwaharddiadau, ac y dylai gwneud hynny'n barhaol, fel y dywedwyd heddiw, fod yn gam olaf yn y broses ddisgyblu? Felly, Weinidog, sut y gall Llywodraeth Cymru fonitro pa mor gyson y mae pobl yn deall yr athroniaeth hon ledled Cymru er mwyn sicrhau, lle bynnag y mae plentyn yn byw, y cânt eu trin â'r un penderfyniad i leihau gwaharddiadau, beth bynnag fo'r lleoliad ac anghenion addysgol?
English: Well, what the Member is absolutely right to say is that we have seen a drop in the number of permanent exclusions and that's to be welcomed and represents hard work that is going on in schools. The Member asked for an example about what we can do to ensure a national approach to this issue. You'll be aware that we have supported, as a Government, the creation of the adverse childhood experiences support hub for Wales, which has developed a programme for ACE awareness training for all schools. The programme is currently being rolled out across Wales, so again staff have a better understanding of maybe some of the issues that lead to a child behaving in a way that might be deemed unacceptable. By March 2020, all schools in Wales will have been able to access that training.
Welsh: Wel, mae'r Aelod yn llygad ei lle yn dweud ein bod wedi gweld gostyngiad yn nifer y gwaharddiadau parhaol, a bod hynny i'w groesawu ac yn cynrychioli'r gwaith caled sy'n mynd rhagddo mewn ysgolion. Gofynnodd yr Aelod am enghraifft o'r hyn y gallwn ei wneud i sicrhau ymagwedd genedlaethol at y mater hwn. Fe wyddoch ein bod, fel Llywodraeth, wedi cefnogi'r gwaith o sefydlu canolfan gymorth profiadau niweidiol yn ystod plentyndod i Gymru, sydd wedi datblygu rhaglen ar gyfer hyfforddiant ymwybyddiaeth profiadau niweidiol yn ystod plentyndod ar gyfer pob ysgol. Mae'r rhaglen yn cael ei chyflwyno ledled Cymru ar hyn o bryd er mwyn i staff gael gwell dealltwriaeth eto o rai o'r materion sy'n arwain at blentyn yn ymddwyn mewn ffordd y gellir ei hystyried yn annerbyniol. Erbyn mis Mawrth 2020, bydd pob ysgol yng Nghymru wedi gallu cael mynediad at yr hyfforddiant hwnnw.
English: We are providing support and driving improvements for all learners in all schools in Bridgend through the partnership of the local authority and the regional Central South Consortium.
Welsh: Rydym yn darparu cefnogaeth ac yn hybu gwelliannau i bob dysgwr ym mhob ysgol ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr drwy bartneriaeth yr awdurdod lleol a'r consortiwm rhanbarthol, Consortiwm Canolbarth y De.
English: I welcome that response and I have to say it's very welcome for me that I seem to be, every other month now, attending the opening of a new facility within Ogmore, either primary or secondary schools. Most recently, in fact, the former First Minister in September opened the new Betws primary - wonderful for that community where the previous school had been damaged by fire only a few years before - but also, even more recently, in the same community, on the same site, opening the new Welsh-medium primary school as well, Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Calon y Cymoedd. Now, this is part of a £10.8 million investment in the south Garw area, which of course has, as part of it, match funding of £5.4 million from Welsh Government. But could I ask the Minister: how do we match that investment in buildings and facilities with also the investment in leadership - both at a school level and an executive level, but also in governorship as well - so that the standards that we want coming out of those schools, the futures of those young people, are matched by the investment in capacity to give them that support from the people around them? And I see such good examples of it, I have to say, in my own area as well as the twenty-first century facilities.
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu'r ymateb hwnnw, ac mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud ei bod yn galonogol iawn fy mod, bob yn ail fis bellach yn ôl pob golwg, yn mynychu agoriad cyfleuster newydd yn Ogwr, naill ai ysgolion cynradd neu uwchradd. Yn fwyaf diweddar, mewn gwirionedd, agorodd y cyn Brif Weinidog ysgol gynradd newydd Betws ym mis Medi - sy'n wych ar gyfer y gymuned honno lle cafodd yr ysgol flaenorol ei difrodi gan dân ychydig flynyddoedd yn ôl - ond hefyd, yn fwy diweddar, yn yr un gymuned, ar yr un safle, agorwyd yr ysgol gynradd cyfrwng Cymraeg newydd hefyd, Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Calon y Cymoedd. Nawr, mae hyn yn rhan o fuddsoddiad o £10.8 miliwn yn ardal de Garw, sydd, wrth gwrs, wedi cael arian cyfatebol o £5.4 miliwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru fel rhan o hynny. Ond a gaf fi ofyn i'r Gweinidog: sut y gallwn sicrhau buddsoddiad mewn arweinyddiaeth i gyd-fynd â'r buddsoddiad hwnnw mewn adeiladau a chyfleusterau - ar lefel ysgol ac ar lefel weithredol, ond hefyd mewn swyddi llywodraethol hefyd - fel bod y safonau rydym am eu gweld yn dod o'r ysgolion hynny, dyfodol y bobl ifanc hynny, yn cyd-fynd â'r buddsoddiad mewn capasiti i roi'r gefnogaeth honno iddynt gan y bobl o'u cwmpas? Ac rwy'n gweld enghreifftiau mor dda o hynny, mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud, yn fy ardal fy hun yn ogystal â'r cyfleusterau unfed ganrif ar hugain.
