“Rydym am i rieni yng Nghymru fod yn hyderus wrth reoli ymddygiad eu plant, a hynny heb deimlo bod angen iddynt droi at gosb gorfforol. Os oes risg posib i blant, mae'n ddyletswydd arnom, fel Llywodraeth, i weithredu. Flynyddoedd maith yn ôl, cyflwynwyd deddfwriaeth i wahardd cosb gorfforol mewn ysgolion a lleoliadau gofal plant – nawr yw'r amser i sicrhau nad yw cosb gorfforol bellach yn dderbyniol yn unrhyw le.
“We want parents in Wales to be confident in managing their children’s behaviour without feeling they must resort to physical punishment. If there is any potential risk of harm to a child then it is our obligation as a Government to take action. Legislation was introduced many years ago to stop physical punishment in schools and childcare settings – now is the time to ensure it is no longer acceptable anywhere.
