English: Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. Members will be aware that, in response to numerous reports into the shortfalls of the current system, this Government introduced new legislation in 2016 that paved the way for a much-improved system for supporting children and young people with additional learning needs. This ambitious legislation was co-constructed with key stakeholders and tested through the Bill scrutiny process by Members of the Senedd. The Additional Learning Needs and Educational Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018, otherwise known as the ALN Act, became an Act of law in January 2018 and is the centrepiece of the wider ALN transformation programme. Since 2018, I've been working with stakeholders to help shape the ALN code and draft regulations setting out how the new system will work in practice. In September, I announced that the timeline for starting roll-out of the new ALN system remains unchanged, and that the statutory roles of the additional learning needs co-ordinator - the ALNCO; the designated educational clinical lead officer - the DECLO; and the early years additional learning needs lead officers - the EYALNCOs - will still commence in January 2021. This will enable the rest of the new system to proceed on a phased basis from September 2021. Earlier this month, I approved the Order that will allow for the commencement of these statutory roles from 4 January 2021, and to support this I'm pleased to present an important set of regulations that mark a key milestone in the ALN reforms in Wales, the draft ALNCO regulations. These regulations will help raise standards and the co-ordination of education provision, and promote a whole-school approach to those with ALN by prescribing the qualifications and experience an ALNCO must have. They set out clear tasks that an ALNCO must undertake, which will ensure that our statutory bodies take a consistent approach in designating the role, as well as enabling the delivery of improved educational provision for children and young people with ALN. To support ALNCOs, I'm providing funding for additional training as part of an ALN national professional training programme. Work is under way to develop a specific professional learning offer for ALNCOs to enable them to provide a strategic leadership role, acting as the first port of call for professional advice and guidance for others. The draft ALNCO regulations were laid in the Senedd on 3 November and with the support of Members today will come into force at the same time as the ALNCO role commences on 4 January 2021. Passing these regulations will represent a significant step forward in the delivery of our new ALN system in Wales and will go some way towards improving the life chances of our learners with additional learning needs. Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Dirprwy Lywydd. Bydd yr Aelodau yn ymwybodol bod y Llywodraeth hon, mewn ymateb i nifer o adroddiadau ar ddiffygion y system bresennol, wedi cyflwyno deddfwriaeth newydd yn 2016 a oedd yn paratoi y ffordd ar gyfer system lawer gwell i gefnogi plant a phobl ifanc ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol. Cafodd y ddeddfwriaeth uchelgeisiol hon ei chyd-ddatblygu â rhanddeiliaid allweddol a'i phrofi drwy broses graffu'r Bil gan Aelodau'r Senedd. Daeth Deddf Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol a Thribiwnlys Addysg (Cymru) 2018, a elwir fel arall yn Ddeddf ADY, yn Ddeddf Cyfraith ym mis Ionawr 2018 ac mae'n ganolbwynt i'r rhaglen drawsnewid ADY ehangach. Ers 2018, rwyf wedi bod yn gweithio gyda rhanddeiliaid i helpu i lunio'r cod ADY a'r rheoliadau drafft sy'n nodi sut y bydd y system newydd yn gweithio'n ymarferol. Ym mis Medi, cyhoeddais fod yr amserlen ar gyfer dechrau cyflwyno'r system ADY newydd yn aros yr un peth, a bod swyddogaethau statudol y cydlynydd anghenion dysgu ychwanegol - y CADY; y swyddog arweiniol clinigol addysgol dynodedig - y SACDA; a swyddogion arweiniol anghenion dysgu ychwanegol y blynyddoedd cynnar - y CADY blynyddoedd cynnar - yn dal i ddechrau ym mis Ionawr 2021. Bydd hyn yn galluogi gweddill y system newydd i fynd rhagddi fesul cam o fis Medi 2021. Yn gynharach y mis hwn, cymeradwyais y Gorchymyn a fydd yn caniatáu ar gyfer cychwyn y swyddogaethau statudol hyn o 4 Ionawr 2021, ac i gefnogi hyn rwy'n falch o gyflwyno cyfres bwysig o reoliadau sy'n nodi carreg filltir allweddol yn y gwaith o ddiwygio'r ADY yng Nghymru, y rheoliadau ADY drafft. Bydd y rheoliadau hyn yn helpu i godi safonau a chydgysylltu darpariaeth addysg, ac yn hyrwyddo dull ysgol gyfan o ymdrin â'r rhai ag ADY drwy ragnodi'r cymwysterau a phrofiad y mae'n rhaid i ADY eu cael. Maen nhw'n nodi tasgau clir y mae'n rhaid i ADY ymgymryd â nhw. Bydd y rhain yn sicrhau bod ein cyrff statudol yn defnyddio dull cyson o ddynodi'r swyddogaeth, yn ogystal â galluogi darparu gwell darpariaeth addysgol i blant a phobl ifanc ag ADY. I gefnogi'r swyddogion CADY, rwy'n darparu cyllid ar gyfer hyfforddiant ychwanegol fel rhan o raglen hyfforddi broffesiynol genedlaethol ADY. Mae gwaith ar y gweill i ddatblygu cynnig dysgu proffesiynol penodol ar gyfer CADYau i'w galluogi i ddarparu swyddogaeth arwain strategol, gan weithredu fel y pwynt cyswllt cyntaf ar gyfer cyngor ac arweiniad proffesiynol i eraill. Cafodd y rheoliadau ADY drafft eu gosod yn y Senedd ar 3 Tachwedd. Gyda chefnogaeth yr Aelodau heddiw daw i rym ar yr un pryd ag y bydd swyddogaeth y CADY yn dechrau, sef ar 4 Ionawr 2021. Bydd pasio'r rheoliadau hyn yn gam sylweddol ymlaen o ran darparu ein system ADY newydd yng Nghymru a bydd yn cyfrannu rhywfaint at wella cyfleoedd bywyd ein dysgwyr sydd ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol. Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd.
