Fis Hydref diwethaf, dywedais yn glir y dylai Byrddau Lleol Diogelu Plant ddechrau cynllunio ar gyfer newid cyn y ddeddfwriaeth. Rwyf wedi derbyn adroddiad ar hynt y gwaith o weithredu’r model newydd ac rwy’n falch dros ben y bydd rhai o’r strwythurau Bwrdd newydd ar waith mor fuan â gwanwyn 2013. Byddaf yn parhau i annog yr holl Fyrddau i gymryd camau sylweddol fel bod yr holl risgiau wedi’u hasesu a’u hwynebu’n briodol cyn i’r ddeddfwriaeth fynnu eu bod yn newid.
Last October, I was clear that existing Local Safeguarding Children Boards should start planning for change in advance of the legislation. I have received a report on progress being made against the new model and am very pleased that some of the new Board structures will be in place as soon as the spring of 2013. I will continue to urge all LSCBs to make significant progress so that all the risks have been properly assessed and discharged before the legislation requires the change.
