English: Stakeholders in this area have raised and continue to raise a number of concerns about this code, including the quality of information and advice, transition and the post-16 situation, qualifications of co-ordinators and the fact that the code isn't a code of practice, the appeals process, and the review timescale. That's a long list of concerns, and the Government need to respond to each and every one of them and to provide greater assurances to key stakeholders. I'm not going to ask you to cover each of the issues that I've listed this afternoon, clearly, or we'd be here for hours, but can you give the Senedd an assurance that these valid concerns are not going to be brushed under the carpet, and can you tell us what arrangements will be put in place in order to mitigate some of these concerns? At the moment, there are around 100,000, or 21 per cent, of school-age children who are defined as having special educational needs, as was the term in the old system. The Welsh Government expected that the number of school pupils who would receive support under the new system - the additional learning needs system - would be similar to the number currently supported, but I'm hearing from a number of teachers and experts that there is concern that the pandemic has created a situation where there will be far more children who will require additional support, but, because of the new definition, it will be more difficult for them to access that support. What is your response to that, and how will the rest of the system cope with these new challenges in terms of more children possibly requiring support in dealing with additional learning needs as a result of the pandemic? And to conclude, I will just mention one of the concerns that I raised earlier, namely the fact that the code isn't a code of practice and that it's therefore open to broad interpretation. That could have a detrimental impact on young people who have low-level needs, and high-level needs, and that there is an open door to a postcode lottery in the provision. And although the tribunal provisions are in place to challenge decisions made, parents will need some perseverance in challenging decisions, and, once again, it's the poorest families who will not be able to find their way through a complex system. Thank you.
Welsh: Mae rhanddeiliaid yn y maes yma wedi codi, ac maen nhw'n dal i godi, nifer fawr o bryderon ynglŷn â'r cod yma, gan gynnwys ansawdd gwybodaeth a chyngor, pontio a'r sefyllfa ôl-16, cymwysterau'r cydlynwyr a'r ffaith nad ydy'r cod yn god ymarfer, y broses apeliadau, a'r amser adolygu. Mae hynny'n rhestr hir o bryderon, ac mae angen i'r Llywodraeth ymateb i bob un ohonyn nhw a chynnig mwy o sicrwydd i'r rhanddeiliaid allweddol. Dwi ddim yn mynd i ofyn ichi sôn am bob un o'r materion dwi wedi eu rhestru brynhawn yma, yn amlwg, neu fe fyddwn ni yma am oriau, ond a fedrwch chi roi sicrwydd i'r Senedd nad ydy'r pryderon dilys yma yn mynd i gael eu gwthio o dan y carped, a pha drefniadau, felly, fydd yn cael eu rhoi ar waith i leddfu'r pryderon yma? Ar hyn o bryd, mae yna tua 100,000, neu 21 y cant, o blant oed ysgol yn cael eu diffinio fel rhai gydag anghenion addysgol arbennig, sef term yr hen system, wrth gwrs. Roedd Llywodraeth Cymru yn disgwyl y byddai nifer y disgyblion ysgol fydd yn cael cymorth o dan y system newydd - y system anghenion dysgu ychwanegol - rywbeth yn debyg i'r nifer sy'n cael cymorth ar hyn o bryd, ond mi ydw i'n clywed gan nifer o athrawon ac arbenigwyr fod yna bryder bod y pandemig wedi creu sefyllfa lle bydd yna lawer iawn mwy o blant angen cymorth ychwanegol, ond, oherwydd y diffiniad newydd, y bydd hi'n anoddach iddyn nhw ei gael o. Beth ydy eich ymateb chi i hynny, a sut mae gweddill y system yn mynd i ymdopi efo'r heriau newydd o ran mwy o blant angen cymorth, efallai, efo anghenion ychwanegol yn sgil y pandemig? Ac i gloi, a gaf i jest sôn am un o'r pryderon y gwnes i sôn amdanyn nhw ar y dechrau, sef y ffaith nad ydy'r cod yn god ymarfer ac felly ei fod o'n agored i ddehongliad reit eang? Gallai hynny gael effaith andwyol ar bobl ifanc sydd efo anghenion isel, ac anghenion uchel, a bod y drysau ar agor ar gyfer loteri cod post yn y ddarpariaeth. Ac er bod gweithdrefnau'r tribiwnlys ar waith i herio penderfyniadau sydd wedi eu gwneud, oni fydd angen cryn ddyfalbarhad gan rieni i herio penderfyniadau, ac, unwaith eto, y teuluoedd tlotaf yn methu ag ymlwybro eu ffordd drwy system gymhleth? Diolch.
