English: The 2021 theme of the International Day of Disabled People on 3 December is 'fighting for rights in the post-COVID era', celebrating the challenges, barriers and opportunities for disabled people. As you know, I've chaired the cross-party group on disability over a number of Senedd terms, and our purpose is to address key pan-impairment disability equality issues including implementation of the social model of disability and the right to independent living. As you know, the social model of disability recognises that people are not disabled by their impairments but by the barriers that society places in their way, and we must work together to remove barriers to access and inclusion for all. The UK Equality Act 2010 states that service providers must think ahead and take steps to address barriers that impede disabled people, and you should not wait until a disabled person experiences difficulties using a service. The Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 puts in place a system where people are full partners in the design and operation of care and support - it gives people clear and unambiguous rights and responsibilities. However, I continue to receive a never-ending stream of constituent casework, particularly involving certain public bodies that repeatedly feign ignorance of all of this legislation, telling people what they can or cannot have and focusing on interventions based on behaviour, not what is driving that behaviour, rather than asking people are they in pain and what do they want to achieve. So, when and how in practice will the Welsh Government begin meaningful monitoring and enforcement of the implementation of this legislation by the public bodies charged with so doing after all these years? And how will you ensure that we never again see a repeat of the Welsh Government's reactive response to the needs of disabled people in the first several months of the pandemic, where, for example, Welsh Government only reacted after Guide Dogs and the RNIB highlighted the barriers being created for blind and partially sighted people and others by Welsh Government changes to shared space in town centres; only reacting after adults with learning disabilities and people with sensory loss highlighted the absence of accessible communication for them around coronavirus regulations and restrictions; and finally as an example, only reacting to the needs of autistic people and others who needed to travel further for exercise after their parents raised this with me, from north and south Wales, and I had to raise it in the Chamber before changes were made?
Welsh: Thema 2021 Diwrnod Rhyngwladol Pobl Anabl ar 3 Rhagfyr yw 'brwydro dros hawliau yn y cyfnod ôl-COVID', gan ddathlu'r heriau, y rhwystrau a'r cyfleoedd i bobl anabl. Fel y gwyddoch chi, rwyf wedi cadeirio'r grŵp trawsbleidiol ar anabledd mewn sawl tymor Senedd, a'n diben yw mynd i'r afael â materion allweddol o ran cydraddoldeb anabledd sy'n cwmpasu pob nam, gan gynnwys gweithredu'r model cymdeithasol o anabledd a'r hawl i fyw'n annibynnol. Fel y gwyddoch chi, mae'r model cymdeithasol o anabledd yn cydnabod nad yw pobl yn anabl oherwydd eu namau ond gan y rhwystrau y mae cymdeithas yn eu gosod yn eu ffordd, a rhaid inni weithio gyda'n gilydd i ddileu rhwystrau i fynediad a chynhwysiant i bawb. Mae Deddf Cydraddoldeb y DU 2010 yn nodi bod yn rhaid i ddarparwyr gwasanaethau feddwl ymlaen llaw a chymryd camau i fynd i'r afael â rhwystrau sy'n llesteirio pobl anabl, ac ni ddylech aros nes bod person anabl yn cael anawsterau wrth ddefnyddio gwasanaeth. Mae Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014 yn sefydlu system lle mae pobl yn bartneriaid llawn wrth gynllunio a gweithredu gofal a chymorth - mae'n rhoi hawliau a chyfrifoldebau clir a diamwys i bobl. Fodd bynnag, rwy'n parhau i dderbyn ffrwd ddi-ddiwedd o waith achos gan etholwyr, yn enwedig ynghylch rhai cyrff cyhoeddus sy'n cymryd arnyn nhw eu bod yn hollol ddiarwybod o'r holl ddeddfwriaeth hon, gan ddweud wrth bobl beth y gallan nhw neu na allan nhw ei gael a chanolbwyntio ar ymyriadau sy'n seiliedig ar ymddygiad, nid yr hyn sy'n sail i'r ymddygiad hwnnw, yn hytrach na gofyn i bobl a ydyn nhw mewn poen a beth y mae arnyn nhw eisiau ei gyflawni. Felly, pryd a sut yn ymarferol y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn dechrau monitro a gorfodi'n ystyrlon y broses o weithredu'r ddeddfwriaeth hon gan y cyrff cyhoeddus sy'n gyfrifol am wneud hynny ar ôl yr holl flynyddoedd hyn? A sut y byddwch chi'n sicrhau na welwn ni fyth eto ymateb adweithiol Llywodraeth Cymru i anghenion pobl anabl yn ystod misoedd cyntaf y pandemig, lle, er enghraifft, dim ond ar ôl i'r elusen Guide Dogs ac i'r RNIB dynnu sylw at y rhwystrau a roddir yn ffordd pobl ddall a rhannol ddall ac eraill gan newidiadau Llywodraeth Cymru i fannau a rennir yng nghanol trefi y gwnaeth Llywodraeth Cymru weithredu; gan ddim ond ymateb ar ôl i oedolion ag anableddau dysgu a phobl â nam ar y synhwyrau amlygu absenoldeb cyfathrebu hygyrch ar eu cyfer o ran rheoliadau a chyfyngiadau ynghylch y coronafeirws; ac yn olaf fel enghraifft, gan ddim ond ymateb i anghenion pobl awtistig ac eraill yr oedd angen iddyn nhw deithio ymhellach i wneud ymarfer corff ar ôl i'w rhieni godi hyn gyda mi, o'r gogledd a'r de, a bu'n rhaid imi ei godi yn y Siambr cyn i newidiadau gael eu gwneud?
