English: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, for your statement today. I'm sure everyone in this Chamber will agree that relationships and sexuality can be complicated and are very rarely straightforward. For young people, they can be confusing and, in some cases, difficult to understand. In your statement, you are right to allude to the damage done by section 28, and, thankfully, it's now confined to history. We must always accept people, no matter what their sexuality or gender - something that has overwhelming support from the majority in today's society. But I'm sure that I'm not the only Member in the Chamber to have concerns over the overhaul of sex education in Wales. It is the role of the national curriculum in Wales to facilitate children's education by identifying pupils' abilities and encouraging them to be the best they can be, whether it's in academia or extracurricular activity or, hopefully, both. It's essential that schools do provide support for children as they develop relationships and begin to understand their sexuality. However, this should be done at an appropriate age and should be led by the child. I'm startled to see in the expert panel's report and your statement today that children as young as five years old will be taught relationships and sexuality education. Cabinet Secretary, surely you must agree that we should encourage children to focus on their schooling and forging friendships with their classmates without over-complicating their childhood. I firmly believe that it's the role of parents to educate their children on relationships and provide valuable lessons on consent and what's appropriate behaviour. UKIP have long opposed interference from government on matters of sexuality and sex education, especially for younger children, and we stand by our manifesto commitment that any form of sex education should not be taught in schools to anyone under the age of 11 years old. From the statement today, it is clear that the Welsh Government think that they know best. We believe parents know best. The Cabinet Secretary assures us that she does not intend that children are taught topics that they - [ Interruption.] It's a response to a statement.
Welsh: Diolch ichi, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, am eich datganiad heddiw. Rwy'n siŵr y bydd pawb yn y Siambr hon yn cytuno y gall perthnasoedd a rhywioldeb fod yn gymhleth ac anaml iawn y maen nhw'n syml. I bobl ifanc, gallan nhw fod yn ddryslyd ac, mewn rhai achosion, yn anodd eu deall. Yn eich datganiad, rydych chi'n iawn i gyfeirio at y niwed a wnaethpwyd gan adran 28, a, diolch byth, mae bellach wedi'i gyfyngu i hanes. Mae'n rhaid inni bob amser dderbyn pobl, waeth beth fo'u rhywioldeb neu eu rhyw - rhywbeth sy'n cael cefnogaeth aruthrol gan y rhan fwyaf yn ein cymdeithas heddiw. Ond rwy'n siŵr nad fi yw'r unig Aelod yn y Siambr sydd â phryderon ynghylch ailwampio addysg rhyw yng Nghymru. Rôl y cwricwlwm cenedlaethol yng Nghymru yw hwyluso addysg plant gan nodi galluoedd disgyblion a'u hannog i fod y gorau y gallan nhw fod, boed hynny mewn byd academaidd neu weithgarwch allgyrsiol neu, gobeithio, y ddau. Mae'n hanfodol bod ysgolion yn darparu cymorth ar gyfer plant wrth iddyn nhw ddatblygu perthnasoedd a dechrau deall eu rhywioldeb. Fodd bynnag, dylai hyn gael ei wneud ar oedran priodol a dylai gael ei arwain gan y plentyn. Rwy'n synnu i weld yn adroddiad y panel arbenigol ac yn eich datganiad heddiw y bydd plant mor ifanc â phum mlwydd oed yn cael addysg perthnasoedd a rhywioldeb. Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, siawns na chytunwch y dylem ni annog plant i ganolbwyntio ar eu haddysg a ffurfio cyfeillgarwch gyda'u cyd-ddisgyblion heb or-gymhlethu eu plentyndod. Credaf yn gryf mai swyddogaeth y rhieni yw addysgu eu plant ar berthnasoedd a darparu gwersi gwerthfawr ar gydsyniad a beth yw ymddygiad priodol. Mae UKIP ers amser hir wedi gwrthwynebu ymyrraeth gan y Llywodraeth ar faterion rhywioldeb ac addysg rhyw, yn enwedig ar gyfer plant iau, ac rydym ni'n cadw at ein hymrwymiad maniffesto na ddylai unrhyw fath o addysg rhyw gael ei addysgu mewn ysgolion i unrhyw un o dan 11 mlwydd oed. O'r datganiad heddiw, mae'n amlwg bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn meddwl eu bod yn gwybod orau. Rydym ni'n credu mai rhieni sy'n gwybod orau. Mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn ein sicrhau nad ei bwriadu yw bod plant yn cael eu haddysgu ar bynciau y maen nhw - [ Torri ar draws.] Mae'n ymateb i ddatganiad.
