Roedd hi'n hyfryd gweld y cyfleusterau rhagorol sydd ar gael i blant a phobl ifanc yn Hyb Llyfrgell Ganolog Caerdydd.

Mae llyfrgelloedd yn cynnig llawer mwy na llyfrau yn unig, o gymorth lles i lefydd tawel, gweithgareddau a chyfleoedd i ddod o hyd i ddiddordebau newydd.

Ar adeg pan fo mynediad at leoedd cymunedol yn bwysicach nag erioed, gall lleoedd fel llyfrgelloedd wneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i blant, pobl ifanc a theuluoedd.

Pam ddim mynd i ymweld â'ch llyfrgell leol dros yr haf?

It was really encouraging seeing the facilities available for children and young people at Cardiff Central Library Hub.

Libraries offer so much more than books, from wellbeing support to quiet spaces, activities and opportunities to discover new interests.

At a time when access to community spaces is more important than ever, places like libraries can make a real difference to children, young people and families.

Why not pay a visit to your local library this summer? https://www.gov.wales/find-your-local-libraries

Môr o hwyl heddiw gyda Cyngor Abertawe heddiw wrth gefnogi Diwrnod Chwarae Cenedlaethol - trochi mewn hwyl, creadigrwydd a phopeth sy'n wneud a'r môr.🐋🌊

Mae chwarae yn rhan hanfodol o blentyndod, ac mae ein Tîm Cyfranogiad yn ymweld yn rheolaidd ag ysgolion a sefydliadau ieuenctid ledled Cymru i wrando am y materion sy'n bwysig i blant a phobl ifanc, gan eu helpu i ddeall eu hawliau a sut y gellir parchu'r hawliau hynny.

We had a whale of a time supporting National Play Day with Swansea Council today, diving into a sea-themed day of fun and creativity🐋🌊

Play is a vital part of childhood, and our Participation Team regularly visits schools and youth organisations across Wales to hear about the issues that matter to children and young people, while helping them understand their rights and how those rights can be respected.

Did you know that play is a right? 🎨⚽🌳

Yn ystod ymweliad diweddar i Bishopston Playscheme, gwelodd Comisiynydd Plant Cymru Erthygl 31 o'r UNCRC ar waith, gyda phlant a phobl ifanc yn mwynhau eu hawl i orffwys a chwarae.

Cafodd ein tîm gyfle i gyfarfod y staff a'r gwirfoddolwyr gwych sy'n helpu i wneud hyn yn bosibl i blant lleol yng Nghymru.

Mae lleoedd fel hyn yn chwarae rhan hanfodol yn lles, datblygiad a hapusrwydd plant - ac mae angen i ni weld mwy ohonynt ar gael i blant a phobl ifanc ledled Cymru.

---------------------

At a recent visit to Bishopston Playscheme, the Children's Commissioner for Wales saw Article 31 of the UNCRC in action, with children and young people enjoying their right to rest, leisure and play.

Our team met the fantastic staff and volunteers who help make these opportunities possible for local children in Wales.

Places like Bishopston Playscheme play a vital role in children's wellbeing, development and happiness - and we need to see more of them available to children and young people across Wales.

Our Participation Team works with organisations across Wales to raise awareness of children’s rights and support services to embed them into their everyday work, using 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝑾𝒂𝒚: 𝑨 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒏’𝒔 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝑨𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒊𝒏 𝑾𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒔 as a practical framework for positive change.

It was great to spend the afternoon with the Starting and Developing Well team at Hywel Dda Health Board, exploring how children’s rights can shape decision-making, policy and practice. By taking a children’s rights approach, organisations can ensure that children and young people are listened to, respected and given meaningful opportunities to influence decisions that affect their lives.

We look forward to seeing this learning shared across services and put into practice.

Mae ein Tîm Cyfranogiad yn gweithio gyda sefydliadau ledled Cymru i godi ymwybyddiaeth o hawliau plant a gwasanaethau cymorth i'w gwireddu yn eu gwaith bob dydd, gan ddefnyddio 𝒀 𝑭𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒅 𝑮𝒚𝒘𝒊𝒓: 𝑫𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝑮𝒘𝒆𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒖 𝒚𝒏 𝒔𝒆𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒈 𝒂𝒓 𝑯𝒂𝒘𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒖 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒚𝒏𝒈 𝑵𝒈𝒉𝒚𝒎𝒓𝒖 fel fframwaith ymarferol ar gyfer newid cadarnhaol.

Roedd yn wych treulio'r prynhawn gyda thîm Dechrau a Datblygu'n Dda ym Bwrdd Iechyd Hywel Dda , yn trafod sut y gall hawliau plant lunio polisi, ymarfer a phenderfyniadau sy'n cael eu gwneud. Drwy fabwysiadu dull hawliau plant, gall sefydliadau sicrhau bod plant a phobl ifanc yn cael eu clywed, eu parchu a'u bod yn cael cyfleoedd ystyrlon i ddylanwadu ar benderfyniadau sy'n effeithio ar eu bywydau.

Edrychwn ymlaen at weld y dysgu hwn yn cael ei rannu ar draws gwasanaethau a'i roi ar waith.

📣 Meeting with the Deputy First Minister to champion children’s rights…

Yr wythnos diwethaf, buom yn cyfarfod â Sioned Williams AS/MS AS, Dirprwy Brif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyfiawnder Cymdeithasol a Chydraddoldeb.

Un o’n prif amcanion yw herio’r sawl sy’n gwneud penderfyniadau i wella bywydau plant. Dyna pam rydym yn cyfarfod yn rheolaidd â Gweinidogion ac Aelodau o’r Senedd i leisio’r materion pwysicaf y mae plant a phobl ifanc yn dweud wrthym.

Canolbwyntiodd y drafodaeth ar rai o’r materion mwyaf sy’n effeithio ar blant yng Nghymru heddiw, gan gynnwys tlodi plant, cryfhau hawliau plant, a sicrhau bod plant a phobl ifanc yn cael eu hystyried ym mhob maes o’r llywodraeth.

Mae’r blaenoriaethau hyn yn cael eu hadlewyrchu yn ein maniffesto ar gyfer y Seithfed Senedd, a byddwn yn parhau i weithio gyda Gweinidogion, Aelodau o’r Senedd a chyrff cyhoeddus i droi’r uchelgeisiau hynny yn gamau gweithredu.

📣 Last week, we met with Sioned Williams AS/MS MS, Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice and Equality.

One of our key roles is to challenge decision-makers to improve children’s lives. That’s why we meet regularly with Ministers and Members of the Senedd to raise the issues children and young people tell us matter most.

The discussion focused on some of the biggest issues affecting children in Wales today, including child poverty, strengthening children’s rights, and making sure children and young people are considered across all areas of government.

These priorities are reflected in our manifesto for the Seventh Senedd, and we’ll continue working with Ministers, Members of the Senedd and public bodies to turn those ambitions into action.
