Er bod ein canllawiau newydd yn ceisio sicrhau cydbwysedd rhwng hawliau’r plentyn i gael addysg addas, i gael ei glywed ac i fod yn ddiogel, a hawliau’r rhieni i addysgu gartref, credaf fod angen i ni addasu dull mwy cadarn o ddarparu addysg i bob plentyn, ni waeth ymhle y darperir yr addysg honno. Bydd y canllawiau hyn yn rhan o becyn o fesurau rwyf yn eu hystyried i gefnogi awdurdodau lleol, y gymuned addysgu gartref a darparwyr amgen, yn cynnwys y potensial o gyflwyno deddfwriaeth.
While our new guidance seeks to strike a balance between the rights of children to receive a suitable education, to be listened to and be safe, and the rights of parents to home educate, I believe we need to adopt a more robust approach to education provision for all children, regardless of where that education is provided. This guidance will form part of a package of measures I’m considering to support local authorities, the home educating community and alternative providers, including the potential for introducing legislation.
