Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Good afternoon, everyone. I just want to ask you some questions about the current legislative and policy framework in Wales. Do you think it supports the provision of culturally appropriate sites for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities? And how do you think…

We can discuss this in the private session, if that's okay. But thank you for raising it publicly. Do any other committee members have anything they'd like to raise on those papers at the moment? No. We're okay. Jayne, are you okay? Thank you. We are going to…

Okay. Welsh Government do make funding available as well, don't they, for new sites. It seems to be, from the earlier evidence sessions, that the political will behind it as well could be an issue when allocating new sites. We're just going to move on to…

Dafydd, when you say 'target hardening of sites', you mean unauthorised sites that Travellers might be using.

Okay. Thank you, Dafydd. Can I just come in a minute, Joel? Carl, you mentioned a five-step approach that you do. Would you be able to send us that so that we could have a look at that? We'd be interested to know more.

Earlier we heard that it's Gypsy, Roma, Traveller History Month, and the topic is 'No place like home' or something, wasn't it, which I didn't know enough about, and I'm going to make sure that I do. It's really, really important, isn't it, to try and…

Thanks. Are there in each authority, are there many—? Do you have a good relationship with the liaison officers in each authority as well? Okay. And that's an important link?

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr: sesiwn dystiolaeth 3
Okay. Do you think that it's not the legislation, but the fact that it's not maybe being carried out properly, then, and making sure that there are the transient sites in place?
