Er bod y cynigion wedi’u cynllunio’n ofalus i sicrhau y bydd y mwyafrif helaeth o blant sy’n derbyn prydau ysgol am ddim ar hyn o bryd yn parhau i’w derbyn, fe fydd rhai yn colli’r hawliad. Mae hyn yn annerbyniol, felly mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn cynnig cyflwyno mesurau amddiffyniad pontio a fydd yn diogelu teuluoedd rhag colli’r hawl i dderbyn prydau ysgol am ddim am amser cyfyngedig, a’u helpu i osgoi caledi trwy roi rhagor o amser iddyn nhw addasu.
Although the proposals have been carefully designed to ensure that the vast majority of children who now receive free school meals continue to receive them, there would be some who lose their entitlement. That is unacceptable, therefore the Welsh Government is proposing to include transitional protection measures which will protect families from losing entitlement to free school meals for a limited period of time, helping to avoid hardship by giving them more time to adjust.
