INVITATION - National Assembly for Wales: Cross-Party Group on Children | GWAHODDIAD - Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru: Y Grwp Trawsbleidiol ar Blant











National Assembly for Wales: 
Cross-Party Group on Children

Sponsored by : Julie Morgan AM (Chair)
INVITATION
Are we serious about children's rights?
Wednesday, 25 February 2015
12.30pm to 2.00pm
Buffet lunch
Conference Room 24, Ty Hywel
The physical punishment of children is the only form of inter-personal violence that remains legal in the UK.  Forty-four states have already enacted legislation to change this. In 2002 the National Assembly and Welsh Government voted in favour of changing the law to give children equal protection.

In 2008 the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child welcomed 'the commitment of the National Assembly in Wales to prohibiting all corporal punishment in the home, but notes that under the terms of devolution it is not possible for the Assembly to enact the necessary legislation.'

Despite these commitments, extensive consultation and the 'Rights Measure' requiring Welsh Ministers to have due regard to the UNCRC, now that Wales has the powers to do something there has been no progress.
But this can change ...
The Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Bill is an appropriate opportunity to reform the law. This would not create a new criminal offence. It would simply give children the same protection as we have as adults.

Ydyn ni o ddifrif ynghylch hawliau plant?
Dydd Mercher, 25 Chwefror 2015

Ystafell Gynadledda 24, Ty Hywel
Cosbi plant yn gorfforol yw'r unig fath o drais rhyngbersonol sy'n parhau'n gyfreithiol yn y DU. Mae 44 o wledydd yn barod wedi diwygio'r gyfraith i newid hyn. Yn 2002 pleidleisiodd y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol a Llywodraeth Cymru o blaid newid y gyfraith i sicrhau amddiffyniad cyfartal i blant.

Yn 2008 wnaeth Pwyllgor y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar Hawliau'r Plentyn groesawu 'ymrwymiad Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru i wahardd pob cosb gorfforol yn y cartref, ond nodir o dan delerau datganoli, nid yw'n bosibl i'r Cynulliad gyflwyno'r ddeddfwriaeth angenrheidiol.'

Er gwaetha'r ymrwymiadau hyn, ymgynghori helaeth a'r 'Mesur Hawliau' yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i Weinidogion Cymru i roi sylw dyledus i'r CCUHP, nawr bod gan Gymru'r pwerau i wneud rhywbeth ni fu unrhyw gynnydd.
Ond allai hyn newid ...
Mae'r Bil Trais yn erbyn Menywod, Cam-drin Domestig a Thrais Rhywiol (Cymru) yn gyfle priodol i ddiwygio'r gyfraith. Ni fyddai hyn yn creu trosedd newydd. Yn syml, byddai'n rhoi'r un amddiffyniad i blant ag sydd gennym ni fel oedolion.
