Yng Nghymru, rydym yn gwneud yr hyn y gallwn ei wneud yn ddiogel i groesawu plant digwmni sy'n ceisio lloches yma heb deulu, ac rydym wedi cymryd sawl cam cadarnhaol i'w cefnogi. Mae Cymru yn gartref i tua 100 o blant digwmni sy'n ceisio lloches, heb deulu y gallant ymuno â nhw. Nid yw'r rhan fwyaf o'r bobl ifanc hyn yn cyrraedd mewn modd wedi'i gynllunio, trwy gynllun y llywodraeth (fel Cynllun Dubsy darperir ar ei gyfer drwy adran 67 o Ddeddf Mewnfudo 2016). Mae hyn yn arwain at bwysau unigryw ar ein gwasanaethau gofal cymdeithasol a gwasanaethau cyhoeddus eraill. Dyma pam rydym wedi buddsoddi dros hanner miliwn o bunnau i ariannu cymorth, hyfforddiant, adnoddau ac ymchwil mewn gwaith cymdeithasol ar gyfer gweithwyr cymdeithasol a gofalwyr maeth i ddatblygu eu capasiti proffesiynol, eu hymwybyddiaeth ddiwylliannol a'u hyder o ran cefnogi'r bobl ifanc hyn. Rydym yn trin plant digwmni sy'n ceisio lloches yn yr un modd â phlant sy’n derbyn gofal, gan roi'r un hawliau iddynt o dan Ddeddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014. Ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus sydd â'r ddyletswydd gyfreithiol i ddarparu ar gyfer y bobl ifanc hyn. Felly rydym eisiau iddynt fod â'r adnoddau a'r sgiliau angenrheidiol i ymateb i’w hanghenion penodol.
In Wales, we do what we safely can to welcome unaccompanied asylum seeking children who arrive here with no family to go to and we have taken a range of positive actions to support them. Wales is home to around 100 unaccompanied asylum seeking children without families to join. Most of these young people do not arrive in a planned way, via a government scheme (such as the Dubs Scheme provided for via section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016). This places unique pressures on our social care and other public services. This is why we have invested over half a million pounds in funding social work support, training, resources and research for social workers and foster carers to build their professional capacity, cultural competence and confidence in supporting these young people. We treat unaccompanied asylum seeking children as looked after children with the same rights and entitlements that the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 provides. The legal duties to provide for these young people rests with our public services. Therefore, we want them to be as equipped and skilled as they need to be to respond to the particular needs of these young people.
