Pa asesiad y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'i wneud o fethiannau diogelu ar draws gwasanaethau plant ac addysg sy'n effeithio ar blant yn ardal Cyngor Gwynedd, a pha gamau fydd yn cael eu cymryd i fynd i'r afael â'r methiannau hyn yng ngoleuni'r materion sy'n dod i'r amlwg mewn perthynas ag ymddygiad Neil Foden?
On 4 November 2025, I delivered an oral statement in the Senedd outlining our response to the Our Bravery Brought Justice report, which looked at these issues. I confirmed that we fully accept all recommendations for the Welsh Government and are committed to taking urgent action on these findings, ensuring the learning from this report directly informs future safeguarding policy and practice.
The Ministerial Assurance Group I established, is helping drive accountability and overseeing the action being taken by Cyngor Gwynedd to act on the findings of this report. I chair this Group, which includes the Minister for Children and Social Care, the Cabinet Secretary for Housing & Local Government and the Leader and cabinet members from Cyngor Gwynedd.
The Group has met twice and is scheduled to meet again in March. I will issue a Written Statement before the end of the Senedd term to update on progress.
We’re committed to going further than the recommendations in the report and are undertaking a number of national actions, which includes:
- Undertaking a Strengthening Safeguarding Governance Review to drive immediate improvements and strengthen how agencies work together.
- Reviewing the role of school governors.
- Reviewing safeguarding in education procedures
- Instructing Care Inspectorate Wales to analyse how the revised procedures for managing professional concerns are being put into practice, once complete.
