Gosodwyd dyletswydd ar Weinidogion Cymru gan Fesur Hawliau Plant a Phobl Ifanc (Cymru) 2011 nid yn unig i roi sylw dyledus i hawliau plant wrth wneud penderfyniadau am ddeddfwriaeth a pholisïau newydd neu ddeddfwriaeth a pholisïau sydd eisoes yn bodoli, ond hefyd i gyhoeddi adroddiad ar yr hyn a wnaed ganddynt hwy a'r Prif Weinidog i gydymffurfio â'r ddyletswydd. Cafodd y trefniadau hyn eu hamlinellu yn y Cynllun Hawliau Plant a gymeradwywyd gan Aelodau’r Cynulliad yn 2014.
The Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure 2011 placed a duty on Welsh Ministers, not only to have due regard to children’s rights when making decisions about new or existing legislation and policies, but also to publish a report on how they and the First Minister have complied with the duty.  These arrangements were detailed in our Children’s Rights Scheme which was approved by Assembly Members in  2014.
