English: Thank you very much, Jenny, for that question. I fully recognise the importance of the equality impact assessment and how that guides us in terms of moving forward with this all-important Flying Start programme, which has such an impact on children's lives. Now, of course, as you are fully aware and you're so engaged with this, not every family receiving phase 2 provision would require further services, but the families who do need that additional support will continue to have the opportunity to access support through existing routes. So, I hope that gives you some reassurance about phase 2, learning from phase 1. If they need additional support, they will be able to access that, and if we can reassure the parents or Cardiff Council about the importance and the impact of the expansion that's going to take place. Clearly, the Deputy Minister for Social Services is working very closely with local authorities in terms of monitoring whether phase 2 provision leads to increased referrals to other services, and we'll work very flexibly with local services to support them to meet additional needs. But I think what's really important is that Flying Start is able to provide and offer that high-quality childcare environment, coupled with high-quality staff, in supporting improved outcomes for children. I do think, in terms of the importance and the announcement that was made recently by the Deputy Minister for Social Services, as part of the Plaid Cymru partnership and the co-operation agreement, with Siân Gwenllian, it's so important that we've got this extension of the £26 million over the next two years to expand Flying Start to support long-term positive impacts on the lives of children and families across Wales. And just finally, Llywydd, just to say that, obviously, I'm responsible for tackling poverty as well, and we know that the provision of childcare is crucial, and with the evidence and indeed the Wales Centre for Public Policy and the Bevan Foundation showing that investment in childcare, with an additional 3,000 two-year-olds accessing high-quality childcare, is a huge step forward in terms of tackling child poverty.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr am y cwestiwn hwnnw, Jenny. Rwy'n llwyr gydnabod pwysigrwydd yr asesiad o'r effaith ar gydraddoldeb a sut mae hynny'n ein harwain gyda rhaglen hynod bwysig Dechrau'n Deg, sy'n cael cymaint o effaith ar fywydau plant. Nawr, wrth gwrs, fel rydych yn gwybod ac rydych eisoes yn ymwneud â hyn, ni fyddai pob teulu sy'n derbyn darpariaeth cam 2 angen gwasanaethau pellach, ond bydd y teuluoedd sydd angen y cymorth ychwanegol hwnnw'n parhau i gael cyfle i gael cymorth drwy lwybrau sy'n bodoli eisoes. Felly, rwy'n gobeithio bod hynny'n rhoi rhywfaint o sicrwydd i chi ynglŷn â cham 2, gan ddysgu o gam 1. Os oes angen cymorth ychwanegol arnynt, byddant yn dal i allu cael hwnnw, ac rydym eisiau tawelu meddyliau'r rhieni a Chyngor Caerdydd ynghylch pwysigrwydd ac effaith yr ehangu sy'n mynd i ddigwydd. Yn amlwg, mae'r Dirprwy Weinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol yn gweithio'n agos iawn gydag awdurdodau lleol i fonitro a yw darpariaeth cam 2 yn arwain at fwy o atgyfeiriadau at wasanaethau eraill, a byddwn yn gweithio'n hyblyg iawn gyda gwasanaethau lleol i'w cefnogi i ddiwallu anghenion ychwanegol. Ond rwy'n credu mai'r hyn sy'n bwysig iawn yw bod Dechrau'n Deg yn gallu darparu a chynnig amgylchedd gofal plant o ansawdd uchel, ynghyd â staff o ansawdd uchel, i gefnogi canlyniadau gwell i blant. O ran y pwysigrwydd a'r cyhoeddiad a wnaed yn ddiweddar gan y Dirprwy Weinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, fel rhan o bartneriaeth Plaid Cymru a'r cytundeb cydweithio, gyda Siân Gwenllian, rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n hynod bwysig ein bod wedi cael yr estyniad o £26 miliwn dros y ddwy flynedd nesaf i ehangu Dechrau'n Deg i gefnogi effeithiau cadarnhaol hirdymor ar fywydau plant a theuluoedd ledled Cymru. Ac yn olaf, Lywydd, wrth gwrs, rwy'n gyfrifol am drechu tlodi hefyd, ac rydym yn gwybod bod darparu gofal plant yn hanfodol, a chyda'r dystiolaeth ac yn wir gyda Chanolfan Polisi Cyhoeddus Cymru a Sefydliad Bevan yn dangos bod buddsoddiad mewn gofal plant, gyda 3,000 o blant dwy oed ychwanegol yn cael mynediad at ofal plant o ansawdd uchel, yn gam enfawr ymlaen o ran mynd i'r afael â thlodi plant.
