English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and I am pleased to respond to this debate put forward by Neil McEvoy, and I appreciate the calm, measured way he has presented his arguments. I think the individual points that he makes about individual situations - I'm not able to comment on them, so I thought I would use the opportunity to talk about what our philosophy from the Government was about children, and what our hopes for children are. I think, really, all parties have always bought into - well, there is a clear consensus that we all have a collective responsibility to ensure that we try to give children and young people the best care and support that is available to them, to allow them to flourish in a safe environment, supported and guided by people who care and have their best interests at heart. The laws in Wales have changed significantly in recent years, and that transforms how social care is given through the Social Services and Well-being Act (Wales) 2014 and the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016. The 2014 Act has been in force since April 2016, and stakeholders across Wales have worked very hard to implement its aspirations. and the purpose of that Act is prevention, early intervention to help parents - which I know the Member will agree with - co-production, working together with families, and voice and control are at the heart of the Act, and thanks to the action of this Assembly in agreeing the regulated adoption service regulations yesterday, 29 April - that will mark a milestone in the delivery of the 2016 Act, when Care Inspectorate Wales will start registering providers of adoption and fostering services, bringing them into the scope of the quality improvement focus of the 2016 Act. So, there was a significant development yesterday in the care of children.
Welsh: Diolch ichi, Ddirprwy Lywydd, ac rwy'n falch o ymateb i'r ddadl hon a gyflwynwyd gan Neil McEvoy, ac rwy'n gwerthfawrogi'r ffordd ddigynnwrf a phwyllog y cyflwynodd ei ddadleuon. Credaf fod y pwyntiau unigol a wneir ganddo am sefyllfaoedd unigol - nid wyf yn cael rhoi sylwadau arnynt, felly, roeddwn yn meddwl y buaswn yn defnyddio'r cyfle i siarad ynglŷn â beth yw ein hathroniaeth gan y Llywodraeth ynghylch plant, a beth yw ein gobeithion ar gyfer plant. Mewn gwirionedd, credaf fod pob plaid bob amser wedi cefnogi - wel, ceir consensws clir fod cyfrifoldeb ar bawb ohonom i sicrhau ein bod yn ceisio rhoi'r gofal a'r cymorth gorau sydd ar gael iddynt i blant a phobl ifanc, er mwyn caniatáu iddynt ffynnu mewn amgylchedd diogel, wedi'u cefnogi a'u harwain gan bobl sy'n malio ac sydd â'u lles gorau yn eu calonnau. Mae'r deddfau yng Nghymru wedi newid yn sylweddol dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf, ac mae hynny'n gweddnewid y ffordd y rhoddir gofal cymdeithasol drwy Ddeddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014, a Deddf Rheoleiddio ac Arolygu Gofal Cymdeithasol (Cymru) 2016. Mae Deddf 2014 wedi bod mewn grym ers mis Ebrill 2016, a gweithiodd rhanddeiliaid ar draws Cymru yn galed iawn i weithredu ei dyheadau. a diben y Ddeddf yw atal, ymyrryd yn gynnar i helpu rhieni - gwn y bydd yr Aelod yn cytuno â hynny - cydgynhyrchu, gweithio gyda theuluoedd, ac mae llais a rheolaeth yn rhan greiddiol o'r Ddeddf, a diolch i gamau gweithredu'r Cynulliad hwn yn cytuno ar y rheoliadau gwasanaeth mabwysiadu rheoleiddiedig ddoe, 29 Ebrill - bydd hynny'n garreg filltir yn y broses o gyflawni Deddf 2016, pan fydd Arolygiaeth Gofal Cymru yn dechrau cofrestru darparwyr gwasanaethau mabwysiadu a maethu, gan ddod â hwy'n rhan o waith ffocws gwella ansawdd Deddf 2016. Felly, cafwyd datblygiad sylweddol ddoe ym maes gofal plant.
