Mae'r adolygiad wedi tynnu sylw at natur gymhleth a rhyng-gysylltiedig ACE a phrofiadau niweidiol plentyndod. Fe'i cynhaliwyd yn ystod pandemig y Coronafeirws, a oedd yn gyson ar feddwl rhanddeiliaid wrth iddynt feddwl am bolisi ACE Llywodraeth Cymru yn y dyfodol. Roedd tystiolaeth eisoes wedi dechrau dod i'r amlwg am yr effaith uniongyrchol yr oedd COVID-19 yn ei chael, yn enwedig ar rai o'n unigolion a'n cymunedau mwy agored i niwed. Mae'n debygol y bydd COVID-19 yn cael effaith lawer hirach hefyd ac yn gwaethygu'r anawsterau a'r profiadau niweidiol yr oedd llawer o blant yn eu hwynebu cyn dechrau'r pandemig. Felly, byddwn yn gofyn i’r grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen ystyried sut y gall polisi ACE Llywodraeth Cymru yn y dyfodol gyfrannu at gynllun adfer COVID-19. Mae amser yn ffactor pwysig ac felly rwyf wedi gofyn i'r grŵp gwblhau ei waith ac adrodd yn ôl i Weinidogion Cymru dros yr haf.
The review has highlighted the complex and inter-related nature of ACEs childhood adversities. It was conducted during the coronavirus pandemic which was often at the forefront of stakeholders’ minds as they thought about the Welsh Government’s future ACEs policy. Evidence had already begun to emerge about the immediate impact which COVID-19 was having, particularly on some of our more vulnerable individuals and communities. It is likely that COVID-19 will have a much longer impact too and serve to exacerbate the difficulties and challenges which many children faced before the onset of the pandemic. I would, therefore, look to the task and finish group to consider how the Welsh Government’s future ACEs policy can contribute to the COVID recovery plan. Time is an important factor and so I have asked for the group to complete its work and report back to Welsh Ministers over the summer.
