Craffu ar Adroddiad Blynyddol Comisiynydd Plant Cymru 2020-21
Thanks, Chair, and, just to echo the sentiments of other Members as well, I'd like to thank the commissioner for everything that she has done. It's been a pleasure working with Sally and her work has been pretty astonishing. But I was just wondering, just…

Gofal plant a chyflogaeth rhieni—sesiwn dystiolaeth 3
Brilliant. Thank you. I was going to ask whether you've got any information on the economic and social benefits of your respective policies. It's obvious from what you've both already given us today that there are great economic benefits. Are there any other…

Thank you, Chair. And thanks for joining us today, I'm really, really grateful. Can you just outline, just to begin with, how early years in your respective nations has enabled parents to remain in or to enter into work and to progress in employment, with a…

Jane, just one more brief follow-up on that. Would a national system with one option for funding then also address the inequitable provision across Wales in terms of the amount of care that is available? Because at the moment, I think, only two in five local…

Thanks, Chair. It's astonishing, really, that so many children with different needs are still not having the sort of provision that would ensure that they have maximum opportunity in life. Can you just outline what you think the Welsh Government should be…

Indeed. And Catherine or Shavanah, is there anything that you'd like to add?

Gofal plant a chyflogaeth rhieni—sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Yes, indeed. Thank you, Chair. It's a hugely important area, the quality of the childcare and how it's linked to the workforce and the skills of the workforce and the value that society places on the sector. I was just wondering, in terms of the suggestions…

Yes. Hopefully, this is just a helpful thing to clarify with regard to just something that Shavanah was alluding to on the workforce itself within the sector. Forgive me if I was wrong—I heard that there is racism within the sector. I think what it might have…

Cryfhau a hyrwyddo cydraddoldeb a hawliau dynol yng Nghymru
Grand, thank you. And also, in terms of accountability, your report recommends that steps should be taken to strengthen accountability for equality and human rights, but that that should be done through strengthening existing avenues, rather than establishing…

Cryfhau a hyrwyddo cydraddoldeb a hawliau dynol yng Nghymru
And have you submitted any kind of observations, any thoughts, to the Welsh Government as part of the scoping exercise, or would you consider doing so?

Cryfhau a hyrwyddo cydraddoldeb a hawliau dynol yng Nghymru
Yes, thank you, Chair. So, the Welsh Government's in the process of scoping the development of a statistical unit, a race disparities unit or an equalities statistics unit. To what extent do you think that unit and its establishment could address the issues…

Datganiad gan y Dirprwy Weinidog Iechyd Meddwl a Llesiant: Cynnydd ar y Cynllun Cyflawni ‘Law yn Llaw at Iechyd Meddwl’
Mae'n amlygu ymhellach yr angen i ni fynd i'r afael â salwch meddwl. Nawr, un cwestiwn yn benodol, o ran gweithio ar draws y Llywodraeth, ac rydych chi wedi cyfeirio at hyn heddiw, a wnewch chi ymhelaethu ar sut yr ydych chi'n gweithio gyda'r adrannau addysg…

Datganiad gan y Dirprwy Weinidog Iechyd Meddwl a Llesiant: Cynnydd ar y Cynllun Cyflawni ‘Law yn Llaw at Iechyd Meddwl’
Diolch, Gweinidog, am gyflwyno'r datganiad pwysig hwn heddiw. Yn Aelod unigol o'r Senedd ac yn gadeirydd y grŵp trawsbleidiol ar iechyd meddwl hefyd, fe hoffwn i fynegi fy nymuniadau gorau i Andrew R.T. Davies a dweud pa mor drawiadol oedd ei ddiffuantrwydd…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, the costs related to the current financial year relate to an extension of the franchise. There was, I think, £150,000 identified for education and awareness raising for votes at 16 within the pre-election budget. And in 2020-21, there was £97,000 spent on…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, I guess, there are two main reasons: first of all, the change in learners' personal circumstances and that's then led them to withdraw, and, then, secondly, the preference that learners have for face-to-face learning over online learning. So, as…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Well, we don't foresee any significant budgetary impact in 2020-23. We're maintaining a business-as-usual approach.

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
We can certainly provide more information on that. Our priority right now is making sure that, given people haven't been able to access the estate, the online presence is as good as it can possibly be, and that's why we're investing in additional social media…

So, we're going to be investing in new online engagement tools to make it easier for the public to engage with the work of committees, such as inquiries. We're going to make it more interactive as well, what we offer, so that systems can then flag up…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, I'll begin by saying that there's £200,000 in the 2022-23 draft budget for engagement and outreach activities, and, as you say, Rhianon, we are desperately keen to make sure that we reach those people who have perhaps not been engaged with us in past…

Well, we don't want any form of disadvantage for any members of staff or any Members of the Senedd who are not on campus, if you like, who are not based out of Tŷ Hywel and the Senedd building. Obviously, we're still gathering information as to what future…

I'll introduce the three periods of investment, and then perhaps invite Manon and Nia to make comments as well. We've got the short-term period up to 2023, and that involves further energy monitoring to enable us to replace inefficient infrastructure like…
