English: Diolch, Sioned. Diolch. It's great to hear of that welcome that was given today that you witnessed, and the fact that the community and the school yard, that parents, the community, want to engage and have engaged in such a positive way. Approximately 10,000 individuals in Wales have registered their interest in participating in the Homes for Ukraine scheme since the register opened on 14 March and 800 households have now submitted applications. That aims to support a combined 1,800 Ukrainians in Wales, and still that option is open in terms of the route through the Ukraine family scheme - the route through the Homes for Ukraine scheme. The Ukraine family scheme, of course, as I said, has already perhaps been the most successful way to get a visa, through the Ukraine family scheme, and it's important just to recognise that that Ukraine family scheme is not funded at all. There is no funding available for those extended families all over Wales - and we know them - who have not got any funding, compared with the funding that is given for the Homes for Ukraine scheme, because the Homes for Ukraine scheme is funded and it's important that we recognise that the supersponsor scheme is not funded to the same extent as the Homes for Ukraine funding is supported. I think that's where we need to get the support of the Senedd today in my discussions and my negotiations with the UK Government, because it's vital that those who are supporting their families get proper funding and support, and indeed the supersponsor route. Just to remind people, the UK Government has made £10,500 per person available for local authorities to provide services, because it's public services that they need to support Ukrainians arriving in their area under the Homes for Ukraine scheme. It's not the same, as I said in my statement - the funding that we're getting for the Ukrainian refugee schemes is not at the same level as we had for the Afghan refugee scheme. It doesn't include the £850 payment for English and Welsh language tuition or the £2,600 payment for health services. They were made available under the recent Afghan resettlement scheme. So, even the Homes for Ukraine sponsorship scheme isn't funded at that level, but the fact is that in terms of the supersponsor scheme we are not getting that funding. We need the £350 per month payment that is being made available under the Homes for Ukraine scheme to be made available to the Welsh Government for every Ukrainian family that's accommodated under the supersponsor programme. And I just want to say something in support of the supersponsor programme, because it is involving a commitment for us in Wales to support 1,000 people. It skips the need to identify a UK-based individual sponsor. It means they're sponsored directly by the Welsh Government; it makes it easier for people from Ukraine who don't have family ties to seek safety here in Wales. But also, importantly, it skips the delay and safeguarding concerns that we have seen arising associated with Ukrainians needing to identify UK-based sponsors. It ensures that proper welcome services can be put in place. And we are funding this, the Welsh Government is funding this, in terms of access to the public services that are needed in the welcome centres - translation services available, health services available, children starting lessons, advice to people on how they find their way in a new country, help with money and welfare benefits, and advice about finding work. I will, again, look at the issues around the access to university, because it's crucial in terms of education. We're particularly concerned about ensuring children and young people have the right access to school, and we've issued guidance on school admission applications for children, which is on our sanctuary website. But we also have had very positive responses from universities and further education, so I will provide an update on that as well. But it is crucial that we do get this message over that there are - . And I'm sure, as you said, there are many delays, unacceptable delays, between getting the visa, the whole family or household getting the visa, and then approval to travel. So, we are looking at issues like transport as well, but it is the UK Government who have got to take responsibility for making this a simpler process in order to get people, refugees, to flee the horror of their experience and their lives in Ukraine at the moment.
Welsh: Diolch, Sioned. Diolch. Mae hi'n hyfryd clywed am y croeso hwnnw a gawsoch chi heddiw ac a welsoch chi, a'r ffaith bod y gymuned a buarth yr ysgol, bod rhieni, y gymuned, yn eiddgar i ymgysylltu ac wedi bod â rhan mor adeiladol. Mae tua 10,000 o unigolion yng Nghymru wedi mynegi eu diddordeb nhw ar restr i fod â rhan yn y cynllun Cartrefi i Wcráin ers i'r gofrestr agor ar 14 o fis Mawrth ac mae 800 o aelwydydd wedi cyflwyno ceisiadau erbyn hyn. Nod hyn yw cefnogi 1,800 o Wcrainiaid yng Nghymru, ac mae'r dewis hwnnw'n dal i fod ar gael o ran y llwybr drwy gynllun teuluoedd Wcráin - y llwybr drwy'r cynllun Cartrefi i Wcráin. Efallai mai cynllun teuluoedd Wcráin, wrth gwrs, fel dywedais i, yw'r ffordd fwyaf llwyddiannus o gael fisa, drwy gynllun teuluoedd Wcráin, ac mae hi'n bwysig cydnabod nad yw cynllun teuluoedd Wcráin yn cael ei ariannu o gwbl. Nid oes cyllid ar gael ar gyfer y teuluoedd estynedig hynny ledled Cymru - ac rydym ni'n gwybod amdanyn nhw - nad ydyn nhw wedi cael unrhyw gyllid, o'i gymharu â'r cyllid a roddir ar gyfer y cynllun Cartrefi i Wcráin, oherwydd mae'r cynllun Cartrefi i Wcráin yn cael ei ariannu ac mae'n bwysig ein bod ni'n cydnabod nad yw'r cynllun uwch-noddwyr yn cael ei ariannu i'r un graddau ag y cefnogir cyllid Cartrefi i Wcráin. Rwyf i o'r farn bod angen i ni gael cefnogaeth y Senedd iddo heddiw yn fy nhrafodaethau i a'm trafodaethau i gyda Llywodraeth y DU, oherwydd mae hi'n hanfodol bod y rhai sy'n cefnogi eu teuluoedd nhw'n cael cyllid a chefnogaeth addas, ac yn wir y llwybr uwch-noddwyr. I atgoffa pobl, mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi sicrhau bod £10,500 y pen ar gael i awdurdodau lleol ddarparu gwasanaethau, oherwydd gwasanaethau cyhoeddus sydd eu hangen arnyn nhw ar gyfer cefnogi Wcrainiaid sy'n cyrraedd yn eu hardaloedd nhw yn unol â chynllun Cartrefi i Wcráin. Nid yn yr un ffordd, fel dywedais i yn fy natganiad - nid yw'r cyllid yr ydym ni'n ei gael ar gyfer cynlluniau ffoaduriaid o Wcráin ar yr un gyfradd â'r hyn a oedd i'w gael i ni ar gyfer cynllun ffoaduriaid o Affganistan. Nid yw'n cynnwys y taliad o £850 ar gyfer hyfforddiant iaith Gymraeg a Saesneg na'r taliad o £2,600 ar gyfer gwasanaethau iechyd. Cafodd y rheiny eu darparu o dan gynllun ailsefydlu Affganistan yn ddiweddar. Felly, nid yw hyd yn oed y cynllun nawdd Cartrefi i Wcráin yn cael ei ariannu ar yr un gyfradd â honno, ond y gwir amdani yw nad ydym ni'n cael yr arian hwnnw o ran y cynllun uwch-noddwyr. Mae angen i'r taliad o £350 y mis sy'n cael ei ddarparu o dan y cynllun Cartrefi i'r Wcráin fod ar gael i ni yn Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer pob teulu o Wcráin sy'n cael ei letya o dan y rhaglen uwch-noddwyr. Ac rwy'n dymuno dweud rhywbeth i gefnogi'r rhaglen uwch-noddwyr, oherwydd mae hi'n cynnwys ymrwymiad i ni gefnogi 1,000 o bobl yng Nghymru. Mae hynny'n anwybyddu'r angen i nodi noddwr unigol yn y DU. Mae'n golygu eu bod nhw'n cael eu noddi yn uniongyrchol gan Lywodraeth Cymru; mae hynny'n ei gwneud hi'n haws i bobl o Wcráin nad oes ganddyn nhw gysylltiadau teuluol i gael noddfa yma yng Nghymru. Ond hefyd, yn bwysig iawn, mae hynny'n anwybyddu'r oedi a'r pryderon o ran diogelu a welsom ni'n codi ynghylch Wcrainiaid sydd ag angen iddyn nhw nodi eu noddwyr yn y DU. Dyna fyddai'n sicrhau y gellir rhoi gwasanaethau priodol ar waith i'w croesawu nhw. Ac rydym ni'n ariannu hyn, mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ariannu hyn, sef y gallu i ddefnyddio'r gwasanaethau cyhoeddus angenrheidiol yn y canolfannau croeso - gwasanaethau cyfieithu sydd ar gael, y gwasanaethau iechyd sydd ar gael, plant yn dechrau gwersi, cyngor i bobl ynglŷn â dulliau o ymdopi mewn gwlad ddieithr, cymorth gydag arian a budd-daliadau lles, a chyngor ynglŷn â dod o hyd i waith. Fe fyddaf i, unwaith eto, yn edrych ar y materion sy'n ymwneud â mynediad i brifysgolion, oherwydd mae hynny'n hollbwysig o ran addysg. Rydym ni'n arbennig o bryderus ynghylch sicrhau bod plant a phobl ifanc yn cael mynd i'r ysgol mewn ffordd briodol, ac rydym wedi cyhoeddi canllawiau ar geisiadau i dderbyn plant i ysgolion, sydd ar ein gwefan noddfa ni. Ond rydym ni hefyd wedi cael ymatebion cadarnhaol iawn gan brifysgolion ac addysg bellach, ac felly rwyf i am roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am hynny hefyd. Ond mae hi'n hanfodol ein bod yn cyfleu'r neges hon - . Ac rwy'n siŵr, fel roeddech chi'n ei ddweud, fod llawer o oedi wedi bod, oedi annerbyniol, rhwng cael y fisa, y teulu i gyd neu'r aelwyd gyfan yn cael y visa, ac yna cael caniatâd i deithio. Felly, rydym ni'n edrych ar faterion fel trafnidiaeth hefyd, ond mae'n rhaid i Lywodraeth y DU gymryd ei chyfrifoldeb hi o ran gwneud hon yn broses symlach er mwyn cael pobl, ffoaduriaid, i ddianc rhag arswyd eu profiad a'u bywydau nhw yn Wcráin ar hyn o bryd.
