Cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ynni a Chynllunio
Hefyd, llongyfarchiadau ar eich swydd. Mae'n dda cael eich holi chi heddiw. Rwy'n falch iawn fod y cyflog byw gwirioneddol newydd wedi codi i £12.60 yng Nghymru, ac mae'r cyfraddau cyflog byw gwirioneddol bellach yn werth dros £2,262 yn fwy y flwyddyn i'r…

Yes. Thank you very much. Thanks.

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 10
Thank you. We were told earlier this afternoon that many disabled people become self-employed because they can't get a job where they're not self-employed. I don't know whether you've got any views on that.
21 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 10
Thank you. And one last question from me: what about self-employment? We have heard, during the evidence, that that is something disabled people may prefer because of the flexibility that's involved. What is your view of that, and do you think there is enough…
21 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 10
Yes, Andrea, go on.
21 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 10
Yes, I think—

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 10
Thank you. Are there any particular sectors that you would say need to be targeted? Obviously, we've talked about the public sector. What about any other sectors where there is a particularly good or bad record?

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 10
Thank you very much and good afternoon. We’ve heard a lot about employers’ attitudes towards disability, particularly towards learning disability, and this is a key barrier to employment. What has been your experience of the attitudes of employers?

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 9
Thank you very much.
21 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 9
Thank you. And, then, a general question, which you’ve already partially covered: we’ve talked about reasonable adjustments—what is needed? What action is needed to improve employers’ understanding of their legal duty?
21 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 9
Yes. So, if there were more champions, what would you do differently?
21 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 9
Yes. And that leads me on to my next question, again, Terry, to you, if it’s all right: Disability Wales said that the disability employment champion is an excellent scheme but has limited capacity. Would you agree with that?
21 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 9
—but a lot more needs to be done.
21 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 9
So, you would say there are some good employers there—
21 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 9
Thank you very much. I was going to ask you some questions, Terry, if that's okay. You've already referred to the fact that one of the biggest barriers is employers' attitudes, and we've been told that consistently in the evidence we've taken, particularly…
21 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
Right. Thank you very much.
21 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
So, you don't think there's any great desire, more than the rest of the population, for disabled people to be self-employed.
21 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
Right. I was interested in what you said about self-employment, because I think what you said was that you're self-employed because you couldn't get a job, basically.
