Amendment 8 ensures that the needs of vulnerable children, under the umbrella of 'disadvantaged children', are given particular regard when securing compliance with the duty under section 1. The Disabled Children Matter Wales campaign, which, as Members will be aware, is a coalition of charities and organisations representing much, if not all, of the sector working with disabled children in Wales, submitted evidence to me and to the committee, stating that, during the Stage 2 consideration in committee of the proposed Measure, the Deputy Minister and Alun Davies considered amendment 8 to be superfluous, stating that many articles seek to protect children who are disadvantaged.
Mae gwelliant 8 yn sicrhau bod anghenion plant agored i niwed, o dan ymbarél 'plant difreintiedig', yn cael eu hystyried yn arbennig wrth sicrhau y cydymffurfir â'r ddyletswydd o dan adran 1. Cefais innau a'r pwyllgor dystiolaeth oddi wrth ymgyrch Plant Anabl yn Cyfri Cymru, sef, fel y gŵyr Aelodau, cynghrair o elusennau a chymdeithasau sy'n cynrychioli llawer, os nad y cyfan, o'r sector sy'n gweithio gyda phlant anabl yng Nghymru, a oedd yn nodi bod y Dirprwy Weinidog ac Alun Davies, wrth ystyried Cyfnod 2 ym mhwyllgor y Mesur arfaethedig, wedi ystyried bod gwelliant 8 yn ormodol, gan nodi bod llawer o erthyglau'n ceisio amddiffyn plant difreintiedig.Englishtainment upload Englishtainment upload
