English: I'd like to thank the Member for the Cynon Valley for bringing this debate, which I'm delighted to be able to speak very briefly in support of. Many disabled children are missing out on the opportunity to socialise and mix with children who are not disabled. Mumsnet, the UK's biggest website for parents, and the charity Scope are calling on local authorities to do more to make local children's provision like leisure activities, groups and play centres inclusive for disabled children and their families. And, besides the missed play opportunities for disabled children, there is a clear knock-on effect that non-disabled children don't get to play with them either. Children are the most naturally inclusive citizens we have, yet we seem to be reasonably effective at taking that away from them as they grow, for instance, by not providing inclusive play equipment. Segregating them by not supplying combined play equipment and provision is clearly one of the ways it begins to happen. So, giving children equality with their peers and encouraging inclusion will undoubtedly be a step in the right direction to nurturing them to become more inclusive adults. It has to be said, of course, that the principle of making sure that there's equal amount of inclusive play provision is academic in those areas with minimal or no play areas. So, equally, I'd be encouraging councils not just to think about the play opportunities there are for disabled children, but the play opportunities there are for all of the children, because we're not exactly swimming in playgrounds and safe places for children to go and play. So, I'd like to see that provision improved. But I agree that where it does exist, play equipment and provision should, of course, be inclusive. No child's more important than another, but actions speak louder than words, and if we don't redress this inequality, can we really complain and preach when negative attitudes towards disabled people continue? Play is important for all our children; socialisation is important for all our children, and the concept of equality is vital for our children to grasp, accept and respect. If this proposal is not resourced properly, it will do nothing, but with the right money behind it, it could achieve great things for all of our children. So, I wholeheartedly support this motion and would ask that it's backed with meaningful resources, if it actually comes to fruition. Thank you.
Welsh: Hoffwn ddiolch i'r Aelod dros Gwm Cynon am gyflwyno'r ddadl hon, ac rwy'n falch iawn o allu siarad yn fyr o'i phlaid. Mae llawer o blant anabl yn colli cyfle i gymdeithasu ac i gymysgu â phlant nad ydynt yn anabl. Mae Mumsnet, gwefan fwyaf y DU ar gyfer rhieni ac elusen Scope yn galw ar awdurdodau lleol i wneud mwy i wneud darpariaeth i blant lleol megis gweithgareddau hamdden, grwpiau a chanolfannau chwarae yn gynhwysol ar gyfer plant anabl a'u teuluoedd. Ac yn ogystal â'r cyfleoedd chwarae y mae plant anabl yn eu colli, ceir effaith ganlyniadol glir yn sgil y ffaith nad yw plant nad ydynt yn anabl yn cael cyfle i chwarae gyda phlant anabl chwaith. Plant yw'r dinasyddion mwyaf naturiol gynhwysol sydd gennym, ac eto ymddengys ein bod yn weddol effeithiol am fynd â hynny oddi wrthynt wrth iddynt dyfu, er enghraifft, drwy beidio â darparu cyfarpar chwarae cynhwysol. Mae'n amlwg fod eu gwahanu drwy beidio â darparu offer chwarae a darpariaeth gyfunol yn un o'r ffyrdd y mae'n dechrau digwydd. Felly, bydd sicrhau bod plant yn gydradd â'u cyfoedion ac annog cynhwysiant yn ddi-os yn gam i'r cyfeiriad cywir i'w magu i ddod yn oedolion mwy cynhwysol. Mae'n rhaid dweud, wrth gwrs, nad yw'r egwyddor o sicrhau bod yr un faint o ddarpariaeth chwarae cynhwysol yn golygu fawr ddim mewn ardaloedd heb fawr o fannau chwarae, os o gwbl. Felly, yn yr un modd, rwy'n annog cynghorau nid yn unig i feddwl am y cyfleoedd chwarae ar gyfer plant anabl, ond y cyfleoedd chwarae sydd ar gael i'r holl blant, oherwydd nid yw fel pe bai gennym ormodedd o fannau chwarae a mannau diogel i blant fynd i chwarae ynddynt. Felly, hoffwn weld y ddarpariaeth honno'n gwella. Ond rwy'n cytuno, lle mae'n bodoli, y dylai offer chwarae a'r ddarpariaeth fod yn gynhwysol wrth gwrs. Mae pob plentyn yr un mor bwysig, ond mae gweithredoedd yn dweud mwy na geiriau, ac os na wnawn unioni'r anghydraddoldeb hwn, a allwn gwyno a phregethu mewn gwirionedd pan fydd agweddau negyddol tuag at bobl anabl yn parhau? Mae chwarae'n bwysig i'n holl blant; mae cymdeithasoli'n bwysig i'n holl blant, ac mae'r cysyniad o gydraddoldeb yn hanfodol i'n plant ei ddeall, ei dderbyn a'i barchu. Os na cheir adnoddau priodol i'r cynnig hwn, ni fydd yn gwneud unrhyw beth, ond gyda'r arian iawn tu ôl iddo, gallai gyflawni pethau mawr ar gyfer ein holl blant. Felly, rwy'n llwyr gefnogi'r cynnig ac yn gofyn am adnoddau ystyrlon i'w gynnal, os yw'n dwyn ffrwyth mewn gwirionedd. Diolch.
