Child Protection training
Children in Wales are offering.
"Keeping Our Children Safe" Training For Designated Person For Child Protection
"Cadw Ein Plant Yn Ddiogel" Hyfforddiant i'r Person Dynodedig Ar Gyfer Amddiffyn Plant
|
Two Day Course
All children have the right to live lives free from abuse and neglect but recent events highlight, yet again, how difficult it can be for so many adults to recognise, and act on concerns about the safety or welfare of a child. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child states that all organisations concerned with children should work towards what's best for each child. The Designated Person for Child Protection has a vital role within organisations helping to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place and that necessary action is taken when concerns about a child are raised.
Cwrs Deuddydd
Mae gan bob plentyn yr hawl i fyw eu bywyd heb ddioddef camdriniaeth nac esgeulustod, ond mae digwyddiadau diweddar yn amlygu, unwaith eto, pa mor anodd y gall fod i gynifer o oedolion adnabod, a gweithredu ar sail pryderon ynghylch diogelwch neu les plentyn. Mae Confensiwn y CU ar Hawliau'r Plentyn yn datgan y dylai pob sefydliad sy'n ymwneud â phlant weithio tuag at yr hyn sydd orau i bob plentyn. Mae rôl hanfodol i'r Person Dynodedig ar gyfer Amddiffyn Plant mewn sefydliadau, yn helpu i sicrhau bod mesurau diogelu digonol yn eu lle, a bod y camau angenrheidiol yn cael eu cymryd pan fynegir pryderon ynghylch plentyn.
