Nododd Rhan 7 Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014 fframwaith cyfreithiol newydd i gryfhau trefniadau diogelu fel y gellir amddiffyn pobl sydd mewn perygl yn fwy effeithiol. Bu llawer o gynnydd ers cyflwyno'r Ddeddf, gyda'r byrddau diogelu rhanbarthol a'r Bwrdd Diogelu Annibynnol Cenedlaethol yn cymell arweinyddiaeth a gwelliannau mewn diogelu.
Part 7 of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 set out a new legal framework to strengthen safeguarding arrangements so that people at risk can be protected more effectively.There has been much progress since the introduction of the Act with leadership and improvements in safeguarding driven by the regional safeguarding boards and the National Independent Safeguarding Board.
