English: Well, it's very important, isn't it, as well as being able to allocate significant funding, that we make sure it's being spent in a way that is both effective and also provides good evidence to others of how to best spend that money. Of course, the funding is being made available in this financial year, so the assessment of impact clearly will follow from here. But the kinds of things that we've seen investment in include - this is the capital grant - improving external lighting in sports areas, providing storage for equipment for extra-curricular activities, outside shelters, security measures to segregate school and community-use areas, and then modifications to changing rooms, to toilets, and so on, to facilitate community use. In relation to how that money has flowed through the system, obviously the responsibility for distribution lies in the hands of local authorities, but we expect them to focus the funding on small to medium-scale projects and to take full note of the guidance that we've issued in how they go about doing that. That, we think, is the best way of making sure that schools can adapt and effectively open their premises outside traditional hours. In terms of how it was funded to local authorities, it was distributed on a formulaic basis, dependent on schools and learners in each individual local authority and, as I mentioned at the start, we'll be evaluating the outcomes of that funding in due course.
Welsh: Wel, mae'n bwysig iawn, onid yw, yn ogystal â gallu dyrannu cyllid sylweddol, ein bod yn sicrhau ei fod yn cael ei wario mewn ffordd sy'n effeithiol ac sydd hefyd yn darparu tystiolaeth dda i eraill o'r ffordd orau o wario'r arian hwnnw. Wrth gwrs, bydd y cyllid yn cael ei ddarparu yn y flwyddyn ariannol hon, felly bydd yr asesiad o'r effaith yn amlwg yn dilyn o'r fan hon. Ond mae'r mathau o bethau rydym wedi gweld buddsoddiad ynddynt - y grant cyfalaf yw hwn - yn cynnwys gwella goleuo allanol mewn lleoliadau chwaraeon, darparu llefydd i storio offer ar gyfer gweithgareddau allgyrsiol, llochesi awyr agored, mesurau diogelwch i gadw ardaloedd ar gyfer ysgolion ac at ddefnydd cymunedol ar wahân, ac addasiadau i ystafelloedd newid, i doiledau ac yn y blaen, i hwyluso defnydd cymunedol. Mewn perthynas â sut mae'r arian hwnnw wedi llifo drwy'r system, yn amlwg, mae'r cyfrifoldeb am ddosbarthu yn nwylo'r awdurdodau lleol, ond rydym yn disgwyl iddynt ganolbwyntio'r cyllid ar brosiectau ar raddfa fach i ganolig a chymryd sylw llawn o'r canllawiau rydym wedi eu cyhoeddi ar sut y dylent fynd ati i wneud hynny. Dyna'r ffordd orau, yn ein barn ni, o sicrhau y gall ysgolion addasu ac agor eu hadeiladau'n effeithiol y tu allan i oriau traddodiadol. O ran sut y cafodd yr arian ei ddarparu i awdurdodau lleol, fe'i dosbarthwyd ar sail fformiwläig, yn dibynnu ar ysgolion a dysgwyr ym mhob awdurdod lleol unigol, ac fel y soniais ar y dechrau, byddwn yn gwerthuso canlyniadau'r cyllid hwnnw maes o law.
English: Well, the cost-of-living crisis is having, and will continue to have, significant financial impacts on all public services, including our schools. School budgets are, of course, for local authorities to determine. They are best placed to work with their schools, as many are, in proposing reasonable cost-saving measures where they are appropriate.
Welsh: Wel, mae'r argyfwng costau byw yn cael, a bydd yn parhau i gael, effeithiau ariannol sylweddol ar bob gwasanaeth cyhoeddus, gan gynnwys ein hysgolion. Awdurdodau lleol, wrth gwrs, sydd i benderfynu ar gyllidebau ysgolion. Hwy sydd yn y sefyllfa orau i weithio gyda'u hysgolion, fel y mae llawer yn ei wneud, i gynnig mesurau rhesymol ar gyfer arbed costau lle bo hynny'n briodol.
English: Thank you for that answer, Minister. Powys County Council are looking at making education cost savings of over £1.7 million. Proposals for schools from the council include turning off laptops and ceasing photocopying. I'm not exactly sure how much of £1.7 million will be saved from stopping photocopying in schools, but this seems an inadequate way of treating our teachers and our children, and the cabinet just tinkering around the edges. Minister, to make efficiencies in schools we need to make sure that the buildings are as energy efficient as possible, so what support is the Welsh Government giving to schools to make them more energy efficient, so that can help school budgets?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Weinidog. Mae Cyngor Sir Powys yn bwriadu gwneud arbedion o dros £1.7 miliwn mewn costau addysg. Mae cynigion gan y cyngor ar gyfer ysgolion yn cynnwys diffodd gliniaduron a rhoi'r gorau i lungopïo. Nid wyf yn siŵr faint o'r £1.7 miliwn a fydd yn cael ei arbed drwy roi'r gorau i lungopïo mewn ysgolion, ond mae hyn yn swnio fel ffordd anaddas o drin ein hathrawon a'n plant, gyda'r cabinet yn tincran ar yr ymylon. Weinidog, i wneud arbedion effeithlonrwydd mewn ysgolion, mae angen inni sicrhau bod yr adeiladau mor effeithlon â phosibl o ran eu defnydd o ynni, felly pa gymorth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei roi i ysgolion i'w gwneud yn fwy effeithlon o ran eu defnydd o ynni, fel y gall hynny helpu cyllidebau ysgolion?
English: Well, as he knows, we make available funding to local authorities in relation to the decarbonisation of the school estate - I'll have some more to say about that in the coming weeks, as it happens - as well as making sure that all new schools built using Welsh Government funding are net-zero schools, both in terms of embedded carbon, but also in terms of operation. I think it's really important that we can make sure our school estate is futureproofed in terms of its energy needs in the way the Member suggests.
Welsh: Wel, fel y gŵyr, rydym yn sicrhau bod cyllid ar gael i awdurdodau lleol mewn perthynas â datgarboneiddio'r ystad ysgolion - bydd gennyf ragor i'w ddweud am hynny yn yr wythnosau nesaf, fel mae'n digwydd - yn ogystal â sicrhau bod yr holl ysgolion newydd sy'n cael eu hadeiladu gan ddefnyddio cyllid Llywodraeth Cymru yn ysgolion sero net, o ran carbon corfforedig, ond hefyd o ran eu gweithrediad. Credaf ei bod yn bwysig iawn ein bod yn gallu sicrhau bod ein hystad ysgolion yn cael ei diogelu at y dyfodol o ran ei hanghenion ynni yn y ffordd yr awgryma'r Aelod.
English: We continue to support neurodiverse pupils. Both the additional learning needs system and the Curriculum for Wales put children and young people's needs at the centre through person-centred planning and supporting individuals' progression.
Welsh: Rydym yn parhau i gefnogi disgyblion niwroamrywiol. Mae'r system anghenion dysgu ychwanegol a'r Cwricwlwm i Gymru yn canolbwyntio ar anghenion plant a phobl ifanc drwy gynlluniau sy'n canolbwyntio ar unigolion a chefnogi cynnydd unigolion.
English: Thank you. I'm still contacted regularly by parents of pupils with diagnosed or suspected neurodiverse conditions, many of whom have diagnosed neurodiverse conditions themselves and most of whom live in Flintshire. In recent months alone, e-mails received from Flintshire parents include the following: 'We attach evidence showing behaviours that are autism related and are held in her education file, yet she's without a formal assessment and diagnosis of autism.' Another neurodiverse mother said, 'If anything, we're excluded from anything such as when social services recently went into my daughter's school. How is that an equal partnership when you live in fear and cannot trust?' Another wrote, 'My son is autistic and had complained of extreme bullying by pupils and a teaching assistant at his previous school. The council dismissed any request for support.' An advocate for an autistic mother wrote that her client's son came home from school with some bruising. The social worker that visited said that she could see no bruising despite his mother taking photographs of the bruising that day. And finally, only last week, a mother wrote that her autistic daughter's school had put many referrals in place for her daughter, only to be knocked back. How can you ensure effective implementation of Welsh legislation to prevent such clear and repeated breaches from happening?
Welsh: Diolch. Mae rhieni disgyblion sydd wedi cael diagnosis neu yr amheuir fod ganddynt gyflyrau niwroamrywiol yn dal i gysylltu â mi yn rheolaidd, gyda llawer ohonynt wedi cael diagnosis o gyflyrau niwroamrywiol eu hunain a'r rhan fwyaf ohonynt yn byw yn sir y Fflint. Yn ystod y misoedd diwethaf yn unig, mae'r e-byst a ddaeth i law gan rieni yn sir y Fflint yn cynnwys y canlynol: 'Rydym yn atodi tystiolaeth sy'n dangos ymddygiadau sy'n gysylltiedig ag awtistiaeth ac a gedwir yn ei ffeil addysg, ac eto nid yw wedi cael asesiad ffurfiol na diagnosis o awtistiaeth.' Dywedodd mam niwroamrywiol arall, 'Os rhywbeth, rydym wedi cael ein heithrio o unrhyw beth er enghraifft pan aeth y gwasanaethau cymdeithasol i ysgol fy merch yn ddiweddar. Sut mae honno'n bartneriaeth gyfartal pan fyddwch yn byw mewn ofn ac yn methu ymddiried?' Ysgrifennodd un arall, 'Mae fy mab yn awtistig ac wedi cwyno am fwlio eithafol gan ddisgyblion a chynorthwyydd addysgu yn ei ysgol flaenorol. Gwrthododd y cyngor unrhyw gais am gymorth.' Ysgrifennodd eiriolwr dros fam awtistig fod mab ei chleient yn dod adref o'r ysgol gyda chleisiau. Dywedodd y gweithiwr cymdeithasol a ymwelodd na allai weld unrhyw gleisiau er bod ei fam wedi tynnu lluniau o'r cleisiau y diwrnod hwnnw. Ac yn olaf, yr wythnos diwethaf, ysgrifennodd mam fod ysgol ei merch awtistig wedi gwneud llawer o atgyfeiriadau ar gyfer ei merch, ond cawsant eu rhwystro. Sut y gallwch sicrhau bod deddfwriaeth Cymru ar waith yn effeithiol i atal tramgwyddo mynych ac amlwg o'r fath rhag digwydd?
English: Well, none of us want to hear the sorts of examples that Mark Isherwood has described in his question today, and if there are any of those that he wishes to write to me about specifically, I'd be happy to take that up. In relation to ensuring the reforms are effective, we are making sure that there is additional funding in the system, both this year and for the next two years. We are now a little over a year into a three-year implementation period for the very significant additional learning needs reforms. He will also know that we have recently published significant new material, which is guidance for pupils and their parents about their rights and the services that they are entitled to. And in relation to supporting the workforce to understand the needs of pupils with additional learning needs, in both initial teacher education and now continuing professional learning for teachers in practice, obviously meeting those needs is a priority, and supporting learners with ALN is part of a student teacher's core studies. We've also developed an online ALN national professional learning programme, aimed specifically at additional learning needs co-ordinators, but also teachers and lecturers, so they can develop their own ability to support teachers with ALN. And in addition to our work to support all learners with ALN, we fund the national autism team to provide relevant support and resources to the education sector as well.
Welsh: Wel, nid oes yr un ohonom yn dymuno clywed y mathau o enghreifftiau y mae Mark Isherwood wedi'u disgrifio yn ei gwestiwn heddiw, ac os hoffai ysgrifennu ataf yn benodol ynglŷn ag unrhyw un ohonynt, byddwn yn fwy na pharod i fynd i'r afael â hynny. Mewn perthynas â sicrhau bod y diwygiadau'n effeithiol, rydym yn sicrhau bod cyllid ychwanegol yn y system, eleni ac ar gyfer y ddwy flynedd nesaf. Rydym bellach ychydig dros flwyddyn i mewn i gyfnod gweithredu tair blynedd ar gyfer y diwygiadau anghenion dysgu ychwanegol pwysig iawn. Bydd yn gwybod hefyd ein bod wedi cyhoeddi deunydd newydd pwysig yn ddiweddar, sef canllawiau i ddisgyblion a'u rhieni ynglŷn â'u hawliau a'r gwasanaethau y mae ganddynt hawl iddynt. Ac mewn perthynas â chefnogi'r gweithlu i ddeall anghenion disgyblion ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol, mewn addysg gychwynnol i athrawon ac mewn dysgu proffesiynol parhaus i athrawon sy'n gweithio, yn amlwg, mae diwallu'r anghenion hynny yn flaenoriaeth, ac mae cefnogi dysgwyr ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol yn rhan o astudiaethau craidd athro dan hyfforddiant. Rydym hefyd wedi datblygu rhaglen ddysgu proffesiynol genedlaethol ar-lein ar anghenion dysgu ychwanegol, wedi'i hanelu'n benodol at gydgysylltwyr anghenion dysgu ychwanegol, ond hefyd athrawon a darlithwyr, fel y gallant ddatblygu eu gallu eu hunain i gefnogi athrawon yng nghyswllt anghenion dysgu ychwanegol. Ac yn ogystal â'n gwaith i gefnogi pob dysgwr ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol, rydym yn ariannu'r tîm awtistiaeth cenedlaethol i ddarparu cymorth ac adnoddau perthnasol i'r sector addysg hefyd.
English: The next item is item 3, which is the topical questions, and the first question is to be answered by the Minister for Social Justice and is to be asked by Jack Sargeant.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf yw eitem 3, sef y cwestiynau amserol, ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf i'w ateb gan y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol ac i'w ofyn gan Jack Sargeant.
English: I've written twice in the last two weeks, urging UK Government to end the abhorrent practice of forced installation of prepayment meters. I call on them and energy suppliers to remove any meters installed by force this winter, and I'm urgently seeking a meeting with the Secretary of State.
Welsh: Rwyf wedi ysgrifennu ddwywaith yn ystod y pythefnos diwethaf, yn annog Llywodraeth y DU i roi diwedd ar yr arfer ffiaidd o osod mesuryddion rhagdalu gorfodol. Galwaf arnynt ac ar gyflenwyr ynni i gael gwared ar unrhyw fesuryddion a osodwyd yn orfodol y gaeaf hwn, ac rwy'n ceisio cael cyfarfod brys â'r Ysgrifennydd Gwladol.
English: Can I thank the Minister for that answer, and again thank her for her leadership on behalf of the Welsh Government in bringing these issues to the attention of the UK Government? The UK Government, Ofgem and the courts have watched this national scandal develop for over a year, seemingly simply trusting energy suppliers and debt collection agents to do the right thing. Thousands of warrants for the forced installation of prepay meters have been passed without scrutiny; the only check being that the debt collection agents simply state that nobody impacted is vulnerable. We know that that is not true. Just last week, we all would have seen the footage of the results: vulnerable people's houses entered, often broken into, and prepay meters forcibly installed. The courts have now finally ordered a halt to this, but for me, it's far too late for the thousands that have already been switched. Minister, we need meaningful compensation, we need a ban on the remote switching, and to allow those already switched - forcibly switched - to switch back free of charge. In your meetings with the UK Government, if they accept your invitation and your calls, will you express the importance and urgency of the calls I've said today? And will you also investigate whether the Welsh Government and this Senedd could support the development of rules similar to those put in place for water back in the 1990s - those rules that don't allow people, people right across our society in Wales and the United Kingdom, to be simply cut off and disconnected?
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am ei hateb, a diolch iddi eto am ei harweinyddiaeth ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru yn dwyn y materion hyn i sylw Llywodraeth y DU? Mae Llywodraeth y DU, Ofgem a'r llysoedd wedi gwylio'r sgandal genedlaethol hon yn datblygu ers dros flwyddyn, gan ymddiried mewn cyflenwyr ynni ac asiantau casglu dyledion yn ôl pob golwg i wneud y peth iawn. Mae miloedd o warantau ar gyfer gosod mesuryddion rhagdalu gorfodol wedi'u pasio heb eu craffu; yr unig wiriad yw bod yr asiantau casglu dyledion yn dweud nad oes unrhyw un yr effeithir arnynt yn agored i niwed. Gwyddom nad yw hynny'n wir. Yr wythnos diwethaf, byddai pob un ohonom wedi gweld y lluniau o'r canlyniadau: pobl yn mynd i mewn i dai pobl agored i niwed, gan dorri i mewn iddynt yn aml, a gosod mesuryddion rhagdalu gorfodol. Mae'r llysoedd bellach wedi gwahardd hyn o'r diwedd, ond i mi, mae'n llawer rhy hwyr i'r miloedd sydd eisoes wedi gorfod newid. Weinidog, mae angen iawndal ystyrlon, mae angen gwaharddiad ar newid mesuryddion o bell, a chaniatáu i'r rheini sydd eisoes wedi newid - wedi gorfod newid - newid yn ôl yn rhad ac am ddim. Yn eich cyfarfodydd gyda Llywodraeth y DU, os byddant yn derbyn eich gwahoddiad a'ch galwadau, a wnewch chi fynegi pwysigrwydd a brys y galwadau rwyf wedi'u gwneud heddiw? Ac a wnewch chi ymchwilio hefyd i weld a allai Llywodraeth Cymru a'r Senedd hon gefnogi datblygiad rheolau tebyg i'r rheini a roddwyd ar waith ar gyfer dŵr yn ôl yn y 1990au - rheolau nad ydynt yn caniatáu datgysylltu a thorri cyflenwad pobl, pobl ar draws ein cymdeithas yng Nghymru a'r Deyrnas Unedig?
English: This scandalous exploitation of individuals who have the least and who need to keep warm, like everybody else, really exposes that we have a completely broken system. So, if you ever get the chance to talk to the UK Government about their failure to act on this - . It's been over three months that Jack Sargeant has been raising this in the Senedd. And what have the magistrates been doing when they issue these licences? Have they been asking whether these individuals are vulnerable and are able to get to the shop in order to top up their credit? It seems to me that what we need, Minister, is a complete overhaul of the regulatory system - Ofgem has been exposed as a paper tiger - and we also need to put a stop to this business of charging those on prepayment meters more than those who are paying by direct debit. It's absolutely scandalous, given that there is no service. You don't have to go and look at the meter to see how much people have used in the way of energy, they know that. So, it seems to be absolutely - . So, will you have discussions (a) with the Ministry of Justice, as to how they're going to increase the awareness of the magistrates of how ordinary people live; and (b) will you urge the UK Government to completely overhaul the regulatory system, otherwise known as Ofgem?
Welsh: Mae'r camfanteisio gwarthus hwn ar yr unigolion a chanddynt leiaf ac sydd angen cadw'n gynnes fel pawb arall, yn dangos yn glir fod gennym system sydd wedi torri'n llwyr. Felly, os cewch byth gyfle i siarad â Llywodraeth y DU am eu methiant i weithredu ar hyn - . Mae Jack Sargeant wedi bod yn codi hyn yn y Senedd ers dros dri mis. A beth mae'r ynadon wedi bod yn ei wneud wrth roi'r trwyddedau hyn? A ydynt wedi bod yn gofyn a yw'r unigolion hyn yn agored i niwed ac yn gallu cyrraedd y siop er mwyn ychwanegu at eu credyd? Ymddengys i mi mai'r hyn sydd ei angen arnom, Weinidog, yw ailwampio'r system reoleiddio'n llwyr - dangoswyd bod Ofgem yn ddi-rym - ac mae angen inni hefyd roi diwedd ar yr arfer o godi mwy ar y rheini sydd ar fesuryddion rhagdalu na'r rheini sy'n talu drwy ddebyd uniongyrchol. Mae'n gwbl warthus, o ystyried nad oes gwasanaeth. Nid oes ond raid ichi edrych ar y mesurydd i weld faint o ynni y mae pobl wedi'i ddefnyddio, maent yn gwybod hynny. Felly, mae'n ymddangos yn hollol - . Felly, a wnewch chi gael trafodaethau (a) gyda'r Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder, ynglŷn â'r modd y maent yn mynd i gynyddu ymwybyddiaeth yr ynadon o sut mae pobl gyffredin yn byw; a (b) a wnewch chi annog Llywodraeth y DU i ailwampio'r system reoleiddio, a elwir hefyd yn Ofgem, yn llwyr?
English: The Minister has answered part of what I was going to raise, because the Minister is quite used to me talking about the problem of people having standing charges. I understand from The Observer last Sunday that standing charges can be up to 50p a day. Most of us don't consider having to spend a day without putting on any lights, without putting on any television, without putting on any heating. That is the life of a number of my constituents, where they have to not use any energy, and then when they do - . As one constituent told me - I've mentioned this to the Minister before and I'm going to keep on mentioning it - she had not used any energy for four days, she heated or warmed a tin of soup, and her energy costs went over £2 because she hadn't used any energy for four days. Does the Minister agree that we've got to get standing charges ended and that we need to get them ended now? Because what is happening is the poorest are paying more and more for less and less. It is a scandal; it is a scandal that should not have been allowed, and certainly one we need to bring to an end.
Welsh: Mae'r Gweinidog wedi ateb rhan o'r hyn roeddwn yn mynd i'w godi, gan fod y Gweinidog wedi hen arfer â mi'n sôn am broblem pobl yn gorfod talu taliadau sefydlog. Deallaf o ddarllen The Observer ddydd Sul diwethaf y gall taliadau sefydlog fod hyd at 50c y dydd. Nid yw'r rhan fwyaf ohonom yn ystyried gorfod treulio diwrnod heb roi unrhyw oleuadau ymlaen, heb wylio unrhyw deledu, heb roi'r gwres ymlaen o gwbl. Dyna fywyd nifer o fy etholwyr, lle mae'n rhaid iddynt beidio â defnyddio unrhyw ynni, ac yna pan fyddant yn gwneud hynny - . Fel y dywedodd un etholwr wrthyf - rwyf wedi sôn am hyn wrth y Gweinidog o'r blaen ac rwy'n mynd i barhau i sôn amdano - nid oedd wedi defnyddio unrhyw ynni ers pedwar diwrnod, yna cynhesodd dun o gawl, ac aeth ei chostau ynni dros £2 gan nad oedd wedi defnyddio unrhyw ynni ers pedwar diwrnod. A yw'r Gweinidog yn cytuno bod yn rhaid inni ddod â thaliadau sefydlog i ben a bod angen inni ddod â hwy i ben nawr? Oherwydd yr hyn sy'n digwydd yw bod y bobl dlotaf yn talu mwy a mwy am lai a llai. Mae'n sgandal; mae'n sgandal na ddylai fod wedi'i chaniatáu, ac yn sicr, mae'n un y mae angen inni roi diwedd arni.
English: Can I thank the Llywydd for enabling more Members to make the points and ask the questions today to this topical question? Yes, the standing charges are an outrage in terms of the impact they have on people's lives. Can I just go back to the point that was raised by Jack Sargeant in his supplementary question? We need the sort of legislation we've got in the water industry to prevent customers being disconnected even if they are in arrears, and we need to get Ofgem to take on those powers to safeguard vulnerable customers. But I will continue to press for the end of those standing charges, which energy suppliers, with all the profits that are being made, can afford to cut and cover.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Llywydd am alluogi mwy o Aelodau i wneud y pwyntiau a gofyn y cwestiynau heddiw ar gyfer y cwestiwn amserol hwn? Mae'n wir fod y taliadau sefydlog yn warthus o ran yr effaith a gânt ar fywydau pobl. A gaf fi fynd yn ôl at y pwynt a godwyd gan Jack Sargeant yn ei gwestiwn atodol? Mae arnom angen y math o ddeddfwriaeth sydd gennym yn y diwydiant dŵr i atal cwsmeriaid rhag cael eu datgysylltu hyd yn oed os oes ganddynt ôl-ddyledion, ac mae arnom angen i Ofgem gael y pwerau hynny i ddiogelu cwsmeriaid agored i niwed. Ond rwyf am barhau i bwyso am roi diwedd ar y taliadau sefydlog hynny, y gall cyflenwyr ynni, gyda'r holl elw sy'n cael ei wneud, fforddio eu torri a'u talu.
English: Just one more - Andrew R.T. Davies.
Welsh: Dim ond un arall - Andrew R.T. Davies.
