Ym mis Mawrth, cynhaliodd Arolygiaeth Gofal Cymru ymweliad monitro 3 diwrnod â Chyngor Sir Powys ac roedd hyn yn cynnwys adolygu ffeiliau achosion a siarad â staff gweithredol y rheng flaen. Mae canfyddiadau ymweliad yr Arolygiaeth yn dangos hyder cynyddol yn yr awdurdod lleol a bod camau pendant wedi'u cymryd i wella gwasanaethau. Wrth gynyddu'r cymorth corfforaethol, bu modd buddsoddi mewn adnoddau ychwanegol i leihau llwyth achosion a chynyddu capasiti'r uwch reolwyr fel bod staff unigol y rheng flaen a'r rheolwyr yn cael gwell cefnogaeth. Er bod perfformiad wedi gwella mewn cysylltiad â rhai dangosyddion, mae angen parhau i weithio i ganolbwyntio ar brydlondeb ac ansawdd y cymorth i blant a theuluoedd. Ers hynny, mae Arolygiaeth Gofal Cymru wedi ysgrifennu at Gyngor Sir Powys gan nodi ei ganfyddiadau.
In March, CIW undertook a 3 day monitoring visit at Powys County Council which consisted of reviewing case files and speaking to frontline operational staff. The findings from CIW’s visit show an increased confidence in the local authority, with tangible steps taken to improve services. Increased corporate support has resulted in investment in additional resources to reduce caseloads and increase senior management capacity so that individual frontline staff and managers are better supported. Whilst performance has improved across some indicators further work is needed focussing on the timeliness and quality of support for children and families. CIW has since written to Powys County Council with its findings.
