Cwrs undydd
Bydd y cwrs rhagarweiniol hwn yn darparu cefndir cynhwysfawr i egwyddorion allweddol a bwriadau Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014, ac ar yr un pryd yn canolbwyntio ar y prif faterion polisi a'u heffaith ar blant, pobl ifanc a'u teuluoedd.
Bydd y Ddeddf, a ddaeth i rym yn Ebrill 2014, yn cael effaith sylweddol ar holl ddefnyddwyr gwasanaethau cymdeithasol yng Nghymru. Mae'r cyflwyniad i'r Ddeddf yn disgrifio'i phwrpas fel a ganlyn:
'Deddf Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru i ddiwygio cyfraith gwasanaethau cymdeithasol; gwneud darpariaeth ynghylch gwella'r canlyniadau llesiant i bobl y mae arnynt angen gofal a chymorth ac i ofalwyr y mae arnynt angen cymorth; gwneud darpariaeth ynghylch cydweithredu a phartneriaeth gan awdurdodau cyhoeddus gyda golwg ar wella llesiant pobl; gwneud darpariaeth ynghylch cwynion sy'n ymwneud â gofal cymdeithasol a gofal lliniarol; ac at ddibenion cysylltiedig.' [1 Mai 2014]
