English: I wasn't going to mention that, but I'm glad that you have done so. It is important to look towards how we work creatively to ensure that we do have the structures in place to enable people who, upon their release from a secure estate, are then able to seek and find employment. The frameworks that we've published promote continued collaboration to further reduce the number of offenders entering the criminal justice system, support offenders not to reoffend, and to keep communities safe. The frameworks' priorities are to reduce the number of women in the criminal justice system; to challenge domestic abuse perpetrators, holding them to account for their actions; improving provision for ex-armed services personnel engaged in and with the criminal justice system; providing support for young adult care leavers; supporting offenders' families following sentencing; prioritising the needs of black, Asian and minority ethnic groups; and supporting the high risk of reoffending cohort. Given the more complex circumstances surrounding female offending, I believe that we do need to explore a very different provision for female offenders. Acting Presiding Officer, I do hope that we will be able to publish a female offending blueprint, currently being developed between the Welsh Government and Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service, which will explore options around a whole-system approach to women entering the criminal justice system. In accordance with the findings of the Farmer review, 'The Importance of Strengthening Prisoners' Family Ties to Prevent Reoffending and Reduce Intergenerational Crime', further consideration should be given to simplifying the ability for those in custody to maintain family contact wherever possible and when appropriate. I have met with Lord Farmer to discuss his review and the findings of his review. It will inform our own policy making in the future. I visited Parc prison to see at first hand the importance of family contact and the rehabilitative effect it can have on offenders. Following the initial publication of Lord Farmer's findings in August of last year, I await the outcomes of his further work in this area, extending his research to the female estate and the experience of women who have been in the secure estate. This, in turn, will influence the emerging blueprint and I hope that it will also be considered in the ongoing development of our youth justice blueprint. We must now look at the way in which community rehabilitation contracts are ended in Wales and ensure a smooth transition to the new ways of working. It is essential that we work with key partners across Wales to get the best possible outcomes. I look forward to listening to Members' views on all of these issues in the debate this afternoon. Acting Presiding Officer, it is the intention of the Welsh Government to continue to develop policy in this area, to continue to drive change in this area, and to continue to ensure that we provide support for the most vulnerable people in our communities in the way that they need it at the time that they need that support.
Welsh: Doeddwn i ddim yn mynd i sôn am hynny, ond rwy'n falch eich bod wedi gwneud hynny. Mae'n bwysig ystyried sut yr ydym ni'n gweithio mewn modd creadigol i sicrhau bod gennym ni'r strwythurau ar waith i alluogi pobl, ar ôl cael eu rhyddhau o sefydliad diogel, i chwilio am ac i ddod o hyd i waith. Mae'r fframweithiau yr ydym ni wedi eu cyhoeddi yn hyrwyddo cydweithredu parhaus i leihau ymhellach nifer y troseddwyr sy'n cyrraedd y system cyfiawnder troseddol, i gefnogi troseddwyr i beidio ag aildroseddu, ac i gadw cymunedau yn ddiogel. B laenoriaethau'r fframweithiau yw lleihau nifer y menywod yn y system cyfiawnder troseddol; herio pobl sy'n cyflawni cam-drin domestig, gan eu dwyn i gyfrif am eu gweithredoedd; gwella'r ddarpariaeth ar gyfer cyn-aelodau'r lluoedd arfog sydd yn y system cyfiawnder troseddol; rhoi cymorth i oedolion ifanc sy'n gadael gofal; cefnogi teuluoedd troseddwyr yn dilyn dedfrydu; blaenoriaethu anghenion pobl dduon, Asiaid a grwpiau lleiafrifoedd ethnig; a chefnogi'r garfan hynny l le mae'r perygl o aildroseddu yn peri'r risg fwyaf. O ystyried yr amgylchiadau mwy cymhleth ynghylch troseddwyr benywaidd, rwy'n credu bod angen inni ystyried darpariaeth wahanol iawn ar gyfer troseddwyr benywaidd. Llywydd dros dro, rwyf yn gobeithio y byddwn ni'n gallu cyhoeddi glasbrint ar gyfer troseddu ymhlith menywod, sy'n cael ei ddatblygu ar hyn o bryd rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a G wasanaeth Prawf a C harchardai ei Mawrhydi, a fydd yn archwilio'r dewisiadau o ran cael y system gyfan i weithio gyda menywod sy'n mynd i mewn i'r system cyfiawnder troseddol. Yn unol â chanfyddiadau Adolygiad Farmer, 'The Importance of Strengthening Prisoners' Family Ties to Prevent Reoffending and Reduce Intergenerational Crime', dylid rhoi ystyriaeth bellach i'w gwneud hi'n haws i'r rhai sydd dan glo i gynnal cyswllt teuluol lle y bo modd a lle bo'n briodol. Rwyf wedi cwrdd ag Arglwydd Farmer i drafod ei adolygiad a chanfyddiadau ei adolygiad. Bydd yn sail i'n polisïau ein hunain yn y dyfodol. Ymwelais â charchar y Parc i weld pwysigrwydd y cyswllt teuluol drosof fy hun a'r effaith y gall hynny ei gael o ran adsefydlu troseddwyr. Yn dilyn cyhoeddi canfyddiadau cychwynnol Arglwydd Farmer ym mis Awst y llynedd, rwy'n disgwyl canlyniadau ei waith pellach yn y maes hwn, ble mae'n ehangu ei ymchwil i gynnwys carchardai menywod a phrofiad menywod sydd wedi bod yn y carchar. Bydd hyn, yn ei dro, yn dylanwadu ar y glasbrint sy'n cael ei ddatblygu, ac rwy'n gobeithio y caiff ei Mae'n rhaid inni edrych yn awr ar y ffordd y caiff contractau adsefydlu cymunedol eu terfynu yng Nghymru a sicrhau trosglwyddiad didrafferth i'r ffyrdd newydd o weithio. Mae hi'n hanfodol ein bod ni'n gweithio gyda phartneriaid allweddol ledled Cymru i gael y canlyniadau gorau posibl. Edrychaf ymlaen at wrando ar farn yr Aelodau ynglŷn â phob un o'r materion hyn yn y ddadl y prynhawn yma. Llywydd dros dro, bwriad Llywodraeth Cymru yw parhau i ddatblygu polisïau yn y maes hwn, i barhau i sbarduno newid yn y maes hwn, ac i barhau i sicrhau ein bod yn darparu cymorth ar gyfer y bobl fwyaf agored i niwed yn ein cymunedau yn y ffordd y mae arnyn nhw ei angen ar yr adeg y maen nhw angen y cymorth hwnnw.
