English: Thank you, Minister, for the update today. I want to start by giving a shout out to our excellent Bridgend youth council, who also, like councillors, do an awful lot of work in their own time. They actually posted today their code of conduct that they've created, which includes being non-judgmental, respecting other's values, as well as no colourful language or vaping. Another wonderful young person that I'd like to highlight is Tyler from Cornelly, who, during the local government elections last year, took part in the pilot on voting from his school, Cynffig comp, in Pyle, as a 16-year-old first-time voter, and encouraged many, many more of his fellow students to do the same. I wanted to raise just one quick point. Last year, I sponsored the Chwarae Teg leadership mentoring scheme, where many young women came and were mentored by many of us here today. And one of the mentees, Seren, who's from Porthcawl, has gone on to produce a petition calling for more representation here in the Senedd and wider. As she puts it, she wants people making decisions for the people of Wales to be reflective of the people of Wales, and I would ask that everyone takes a look at what she is campaigning for. And then, finally, I just wanted to raise some concerns that I've had from Welsh Youth Parliament Members, who have done some tremendous work since they were first elected in December 2018. But I know, from speaking to some of them, that it can be frustrating when recommendations continue to stay the same because they have not been actioned. So, for example, the 'Young Minds Matter' mental health report summary, which came out at the end of last year, has almost identical recommendations to the 2020 report. This can be very deflating for our Youth Parliament Members, who are, hopefully, going to go on to want to become advocates for others, councillors and Members of the Senedd in the future. So, my question, really, Minister, is: how are we going to ensure that these results from this survey and the work that's being done is actually making meaningful, visible change that reassures our young people in particular that Welsh Government is active and listening? There are many young people who are trying to engage with these systems and the structures that are in place, but they need to really see that things are being done.
Welsh: Diolch, Gweinidog, am yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf heddiw. Rwyf i eisiau dechrau drwy grybwyll ein cyngor ieuenctid ardderchog ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr, sydd hefyd, fel cynghorwyr, yn gwneud llawer iawn o waith yn eu hamser eu hunain. Heddiw fe wnaethon nhw bostio eu cod ymddygiad y maen nhw wedi'i greu, sy'n cynnwys bod yn anfeirniadol, parchu gwerthoedd eraill, yn ogystal â dim iaith liwgar na fepio. Person ifanc gwych arall yr hoffwn i dynnu sylw ato yw Tyler o Gorneli, a gymerodd ran, yn ystod yr etholiadau llywodraeth leol y llynedd, yn y cynllun treialu ynghylch pleidleisio o'i ysgol, Ysgol Gyfun Cynffig, yn y Pîl, fel pleidleisiwr tro cyntaf 16 oed, ac anogodd lawer, llawer mwy o'i gyd-fyfyrwyr i wneud yr un peth. Roeddwn i eisiau codi un pwynt cyflym. Y llynedd, fe wnes i noddi cynllun mentora arweinyddiaeth Chwarae Teg, pryd daeth llawer o ferched ifanc i gael eu mentora gan lawer ohonom ni yma heddiw. Ac mae un o'r rhai a gafodd ei mentora, sef Seren, sy'n dod o Borthcawl, wedi mynd ymlaen i greu deiseb yn galw am fwy o gynrychiolaeth yma yn y Senedd ac yn ehangach. Fel dywed hi, mae hi eisiau i bobl sy'n gwneud penderfyniadau ar ran pobl Cymru adlewyrchu pobl Cymru, ac rwy'n gofyn i bawb gymryd golwg ar yr hyn y mae hi'n ymgyrchu drosto. Ac yna, i orffen, roeddwn i eisiau codi rhai pryderon yr wyf i wedi'u cael gan Aelodau Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru, sydd wedi gwneud gwaith aruthrol ers iddyn nhw gael eu hethol gyntaf ym mis Rhagfyr 2018. Ond rwy'n gwybod, o siarad â rhai ohonyn nhw, y gall fod yn rhwystredig pan fydd argymhellion yn parhau yr un fath oherwydd nad ydyn nhw wedi cael eu gweithredu. Felly, er enghraifft, mae crynodeb yr adroddiad iechyd meddwl 'Young Minds Matter', a gafodd ei gyhoeddi ddiwedd y llynedd, bron yn union yr un fath ag adroddiad 2020. Gall hyn fod yn ddiflas iawn i Aelodau ein Senedd Ieuenctid, sydd, gobeithio, eisiau mynd ymlaen i fod yn eiriolwyr dros eraill, cynghorwyr ac Aelodau'r Senedd yn y dyfodol. Felly, fy nghwestiwn i, mewn gwirionedd, Gweinidog, yw: sut ydym ni'n mynd i sicrhau bod y canlyniadau hyn o'r arolwg hwn a'r gwaith sy'n cael ei wneud wir yn gwneud newid ystyrlon, gweladwy sy'n rhoi sicrwydd i'n pobl ifanc yn enwedig bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn weithredol ac yn gwrando? Mae yna lawer o bobl ifanc sy'n ceisio ymgysylltu â'r systemau hyn a'r strwythurau sydd ar waith, ond mae angen iddyn nhw weld mewn gwirionedd fod pethau'n cael eu gwneud.
