Rydym yn gwybod bod mwy o ymgysylltu â theuluoedd yn cael effaith gadarnhaol ar wella presenoldeb. Mae Swyddogion Ymgysylltu â Theuluoedd yn sicrhau bod partneriaethau cryf yn cael eu datblygu rhwng ysgolion, teuluoedd, cymunedau ac asiantaethau eraill. Gwyddom y gall y cymorth ychwanegol y maent yn ei gynnig fod yn adnodd hynod effeithiol i ysgolion i’w helpu i estyn allan at rieni a gofalwyr a'u cynnwys yn nysgu eu plant. Dyna pam rydym hefyd yn cynyddu'r cyllid hwn i £2.5 miliwn, sy’n mynd â chyfanswm y buddsoddiad ar gyfer eleni i dros £6.5 miliwn.
We know that greater engagement with families has been shown to have a positive impact on improving attendance.  Family Engagement Officers ensure strong partnerships are developed between schools, families, communities and other agencies. We know that the additional support they offer can be a highly effective resource for schools in reaching out to parents and carers and engaging them in their children’s learning. That is why we are also increasing this funding to £2.5 million, taking the total investment for this year to over £6.5 million.
