English: The children's commissioner is quite clear that there is a series of litmus tests, if you like, in terms of what she'd be looking for - primarily, of course, that all children in Wales can be accounted for and that none slip under the radar of universal services and society more widely. Well, you know, even a statutory register can't guarantee that and that's something I know that we've touched on previously. But I honestly believe that it would better achieve that aim than a local authority database, albeit that's probably moving closer to what I'd like to see. The second litmus test, of course, is that every child receives a suitable education. I think, on that front, this is where I find the greatest positivity in your statement today, in that that is being firmed up. Hopefully we'll see that being more effectively articulated and implemented. But also, of course, that every child should have the opportunity to be seen and their views and experiences listened to. That's another key test for the children's commissioner. So, I just need more clarity, really, about whether your proposed statutory guidance will include that opportunity for children but also include that right for the authorities to have access to those pupils being home educated. One way of testing all of this, of course, is through a children's rights impact assessment and I would like you to confirm whether the Government will be producing a detailed children's rights impact assessment on these proposals as part of the process. As I say, that hopefully will go a long way in demonstrating whether you meet some of the children's commissioner's tests. Finally, two questions to close. Some members of the home education community will be more willing to engage with local authorities and the Welsh Government than others maybe, so how will you ensure that the voices of more hard-to-reach children are heard within this process? I'd be interested in hearing your answer to that. And finally as well, there's a whole other cohort, of course, of children who haven't started at school or who aren't at school age yet and I'd be interested in hearing what discussions have occurred across Welsh Government on how the health, social care and education sectors could work together to more effectively include children under compulsory school age as well in some of these areas that we're currently deliberating.
Welsh: Mae'r comisiynydd plant yn eglur iawn fod cyfres o brofion litmws, os mynnwch, o ran beth fyddai hi yn ei geisio - yn bennaf, wrth gwrs, y gellir rhoi cyfrif o bob plentyn yng Nghymru ac nac oes un yr yn ohonyn nhw yn golledig i'r gwasanaethau cyffredinol a chymdeithas yn fwy eang. Wel, wyddoch chi, ni all hyd yn oed gofrestr statudol warantu hynny ac mae hynny'n rhywbeth y gwn ein bod wedi'i gyffwrdd o'r blaen. Ond rwy'n credu'n wir y byddai'n cyrraedd y nod hwnnw'n well na chronfa ddata awdurdod lleol, er y byddai hynny, mae'n debyg, yn symud yn nes at yr hoffwn ei weld. Yr ail brawf litmws, wrth gwrs, yw fod pob plentyn yn cael addysg addas. Credaf, yn hynny o beth, mai dyma'r man y caf i'r agwedd fwyaf cadarnhaol yn eich datganiad heddiw, yw fod hynny'n cael ei atgyfnerthu. Gobeithio y cawn weld hynny'n cael ei fynegi a'i weithredu yn fwy effeithiol. Ond hefyd, wrth gwrs, y dylai pob plentyn gael y cyfle i'w gweld a chlywed ei farn a'i brofiadau. Mae hynny'n brawf allweddol arall ar gyfer y Comisiynydd Plant. Felly, dim ond angen mwy o eglurder sydd arnaf i, mewn gwirionedd, am a fydd eich canllawiau statudol arfaethedig yn cynnwys y cyfle hwnnw i blant ond hefyd yn cynnwys yr hawl i awdurdodau i gael mynd at y disgyblion hynny sy'n cael eu haddysg yn y cartref. Un ffordd o brofi hyn i gyd, wrth gwrs, yw drwy asesiad o'r effaith ar hawliau plant a hoffwn ichi gadarnhau a bydd y Llywodraeth yn llunio asesiad effaith hawliau plant manwl ar y cynigion hyn yn rhan o'r broses. Fel yr wy'n ei ddweud, gobeithio y bydd hynny'n mynd ffordd bell i ddangos eich bod yn bodloni rhai o brofion y Comisiynydd Plant. Yn olaf, dau gwestiwn i gloi. Bydd rhai aelodau o'r gymuned addysg yn y cartref yn fwy parod nac eraill i ymgysylltu ag awdurdodau lleol a Llywodraeth Cymru efallai, felly sut y gwnewch chi sicrhau y clywir lleisiau'r plant sy'n fwy anodd eu cyrraedd yn y broses hon? Byddai gennyf ddiddordeb i glywed eich ateb i hynny. Ac yn olaf hefyd, mae carfan gyfan arall, wrth gwrs, o blant sydd heb ddechrau yn yr ysgol neu heb gyrraedd oedran ysgol eto, a byddai gennyf ddiddordeb i glywed pa drafodaethau sydd wedi digwydd ledled Llywodraeth Cymru ar sut gallai'r sectorau iechyd, gofal cymdeithasol ac addysg weithio gyda'i gilydd i gynnwys yn fwy effeithiol blant o dan oedran ysgol gorfodol yn ogystal â'r rhai yn y meysydd hyn yr ydym ni'n eu trafod ar hyn o bryd.
