Fel llywodraeth, rydym yn benderfynol o fynd i’r afael â thlodi plant, a hynny fel prif flaenoriaeth. Mae’r ymrwymiadau yn ein Rhaglen Lywodraethu yn cael eu llywio gan yr angen canolog hwnnw i drechu tlodi ac anghydraddoldebau. Rhaid cydnabod hefyd bod y prif arfau sydd gennym i drechu tlodi, fel budd-daliadau lles a llawer o bwerau cyllidol, yn bwerau sydd gan Lywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig, ac felly mae cyfyngiadau ar allu Llywodraeth Cymru i weithredu. Mae hyn yn golygu bod rhaid i ni weithredu atebion sy’n cael eu gwneud yng Nghymru we mwyn gwneud gwir wahaniaeth.
As a Welsh Government we are committed to addressing child poverty as an absolute priority, and our Programme for Government commitments are being shaped and delivered with the need to combat poverty and inequality as a central driver. We must also recognise that the major levers for tackling poverty such as welfare benefits and many fiscal powers sit with the UK Government, and there are therefore limits to what Welsh Government can do. This means for us to make a real difference we must implement Made in Wales solutions.
