English: Thank you very much, Mark Isherwood. Thank you for those questions. And can I acknowledge your experience and interest in this field? In fact, I know, Mark, you've been involved in former committee inquiries in this Assembly and take a close interest, of course, in your region in terms of these services. I think your comment on the Wales Governance Centre findings are key to addressing these issues and enable us also to look at issues where we are looking for more assistance in understanding the nature of the need, for example, for more data-specific information as far as Wales needs, in terms of the criminal justice system, and that's something that, of course, I've discussed with the Ministry of Justice. But the Wales Governance Centre evidence is key to help us move forward with the development of these blueprints. We do welcome the future proposals for the probation service. They were announced last week, but obviously we already had, as you said, the specific proposals for Wales, which highlighted Wales's own legislative and policy landscape and the different partnership arrangements that exist in Wales. I spoke to the new Minister yesterday, Robert Buckland, and he acknowledged that we have got an opportunity here in Wales to do things differently by designing a better probation system, fit for purpose, that works for the people of Wales. Yes, the announcement did include the fact that there could be a continued role for the voluntary and private sector in the delivery of unpaid work and accredited programmes. That's something that we would want to discuss in terms of what that would mean. I know that there are concerns about that because the reunification has to be a reunification that gives the probation service and probation professionals a real opportunity to, again, re-embrace their role, particularly in this public service. I think you also make key issues about the impact and the effectiveness of devolved services in reaching, for example, as you say, women in Styal prison. I'm visiting Eastwood Park next week, where we know that the reach, again in terms of devolved services and liaison, and the fact that, of course, many of those women, in both Styal and Eastwood Park, have got families, and circumstances, and engagement and liaison with their homes and communities is crucial - . I will be taking stock of the effectiveness of those devolved services. It's not just health and social services, of course; education, skills, learning, housing - these are crucial. I also welcome the fact that you acknowledge the Welsh Affairs Committee's call for at least one - one in north Wales, I think they're saying, and one in south Wales - of the women's residential centres. I've said in my statement that I would like at least one. Obviously, they are suggesting that there could be five women's residential centres. What is very important also is that we can have an impact on the nature of those and scope of those centres. We are already having workshops between Welsh Government, Ministry of Justice officials and those partners who will have an impact and be able to shape those centres, and I look forward to an early announcement on this in terms of taking this forward. Your points about youth justice are also important. I think Hillside, of course - and you commented on Hillside - I'd have to say that Care Inspectorate Wales have conducted a follow-up inspection of Hillside secure children's home and found that the facility's now compliant in all areas. The Youth Custody Service have set improvement standards for Hillside management, and also those have to be implemented. Of course, there were improvements required by Care Inspectorate Wales, and the Youth Custody Service will be monitoring progress on those standards. I think the point you make about third sector organisations that have actually made a difference, and you told me about those earlier on, which actually are playing a part in terms of the diversionary, the preventative, the engagement, which, of course, acknowledges the impact of ACES on young people's lives - . It has been helped by the Welsh Government funding of the promoting positive engagement for young people at risk of offending grant. That's offering that kind of preventative and diversionary support to young people at risk, but it's also important that we acknowledge those third sector organisations as you've done today.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi, Mark Isherwood. Diolch i chi am y cwestiynau hynny. Ac a gaf i roi cydnabyddiaeth i chi am eich profiad a'ch diddordeb yn y maes hwn? A dweud y gwir, rwy'n gwybod, Mark, eich bod wedi cymryd rhan mewn ymchwiliadau pwyllgor blaenorol yn y Cynulliad hwn ac mae gennych chi ddiddordeb mawr, wrth gwrs, yn eich rhanbarth chi o ran y gwasanaethau hyn. Credaf fod eich sylw ar ganfyddiadau Canolfan Llywodraethiant Cymru yn allweddol i fynd i'r afael â'r materion hyn a'n galluogi ni i edrych hefyd ar faterion lle'r ydym ni'n chwilio am fwy o gymorth i ddeall natur yr angen, er enghraifft, am wybodaeth sy'n fwy data benodol cyn belled fel y mae angen hynny ar Gymru, o ran y system cyfiawnder troseddol, ac mae hynny'n rhywbeth yr wyf i, wrth gwrs, wedi ei drafod gyda'r Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder. Ond mae tystiolaeth Canolfan Llywodraethiant Cymru yn allweddol ar gyfer ein helpu ni i symud ymlaen i ddatblygu'r glasbrintiau hyn. Rydym yn croesawu'r cynigion ar gyfer y gwasanaeth prawf yn y dyfodol. Fe'u cyhoeddwyd yr wythnos diwethaf, ond yn amlwg roedd gennym ni eisoes, fel yr oeddech chi'n dweud, gynigion penodol ar gyfer Cymru, a oedd yn tynnu sylw at y tirlun deddfwriaethol a pholisi Cymru ei hunan a'r gwahanol drefniadau partneriaeth sy'n bodoli yng Nghymru. Siaradais â'r Gweinidog newydd, Robert Buckland, ddoe ac roedd ef yn cydnabod bod cyfle gennym yma yng Nghymru i wneud pethau mewn ffordd amgen drwy gynllunio system brawf well, sy'n addas at y diben, sy'n gweithio i bobl Cymru. Oedd, roedd y cyhoeddiad yn cynnwys y ffaith y gellid cael swyddogaeth barhaus i'r sector gwirfoddol a phreifat wrth ddarparu gwaith di-dâl a rhaglenni achrededig. Mae hwnnw'n rhywbeth y byddem yn dymuno ei drafod o ran yr hyn y byddai'n ei olygu. Rwy'n gwybod bod yna bryderon am hynny oherwydd bydd yn rhaid i'r ailuno fod yn ailuno sy'n gyfle gwirioneddol i'r gwasanaeth prawf a gweithwyr prawf proffesiynol i anwesu eu gwaith unwaith eto, yn enwedig yn y gwasanaeth cyhoeddus hwn. Rwyf o'r farn eich bod chi'n codi materion allweddol hefyd am effaith ac effeithiolrwydd gwasanaethau datganoledig o ran cyrraedd, er enghraifft, fenywod yng ngharchar Styal. Byddaf yn ymweld ag Eastwood Park yr wythnos nesaf, lle gwyddom fod y cyrhaeddiad, eto o ran gwasanaethau datganoledig a chyswllt, a'r ffaith, wrth gwrs, fod gan lawer o'r menywod hynny, yn Styal ac Eastwood Park, deuluoedd ac amgylchiadau, ac mae'r cysylltiad a'r ymgysylltiad â'u cartrefi a'u cymunedau yn hollbwysig - . Byddaf yn pwyso a mesur pa mor effeithiol yw'r gwasanaethau datganoledig hynny. Nid yn unig y gwasanaethau iechyd a chymdeithasol, wrth gwrs; addysg, sgiliau, dysgu, tai - mae'r rhain yn hanfodol. Rwy'n croesawu'r ffaith hefyd eich bod chi'n cydnabod galwad y Pwyllgor Materion Cymreig am o leiaf un - un yn y gogledd ac un yn y de, rwy'n credu mai hynny y maen nhw'n ei ddweud - ganolfan breswyl i fenywod. Rwyf wedi dweud yn fy natganiad y byddwn yn hoffi gweld o leiaf un ganolfan. Mae'n amlwg eu bod nhw'n awgrymu y gellid cael pum canolfan breswyl i fenywod. Yr hyn sy'n bwysig iawn hefyd yw y gallwn ni gael dylanwad ar natur a chwmpas y canolfannau hynny. Rydym eisoes yn cynnal gweithdai rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru, swyddogion y Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder a'r partneriaid hynny a fydd yn cael dylanwad ac yn gallu llunio'r canolfannau hynny, ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen at gyhoeddiad buan ar hyn o ran bwrw ymlaen. Mae eich pwyntiau am gyfiawnder ieuenctid yn bwysig hefyd. Rwy'n meddwl am Hillside, wrth gwrs - ac roeddech chi'n sôn am Hillside - byddai'n rhaid imi ddweud bod Arolygiaeth Gofal Cymru wedi cynnal arolygiad dilynol o gartref plant diogel Hillside ac wedi canfod bod y cyfleuster yn cydymffurfio erbyn hyn ym mhob maes. Mae Gwasanaeth Dalfa'r Ifanc wedi gosod safonau ar gyfer gwelliant i reolwyr Hillside, a bydd yn rhaid gweithredu'r rhain hefyd. Wrth gwrs, roedd gwelliannau yn ofynnol gan Arolygiaeth Gofal Cymru, a bydd Gwasanaeth Dalfa'r Ifanc yn monitro cynnydd yn ôl y safonau hynny. Rwy'n credu bod y pwynt a wnewch chi am gyrff trydydd sector sydd wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol, ac fe wnaethoch chi grybwyll y rhain gyda mi'n gynharach, sydd â rhan wirioneddol yn y dargyfeirio, yr atal, a'r ymgysylltu, sydd, wrth gwrs, yn cydnabod effaith ACEs ar fywydau pobl ifanc - . Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi helpu i ariannu'r grant o hybu ymgysylltiad cadarnhaol â phobl ifanc sydd mewn perygl o droseddu. Mae'n cynnig y math hwnnw o gymorth ataliol a dargyfeiriol i bobl ifanc sydd mewn perygl, ond mae hefyd yn bwysig ein bod ni'n cydnabod y sefydliadau trydydd sector hynny fel y gwnaethoch chi heddiw.
