Daethpwyd â darpariaeth cynghorwyr allanol mewn perthynas ag Addysg a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol i ben ym mis Hydref, a rhoddodd y Cyngor ei drefniadau ei hun ar waith gan sicrhau capasiti a gallu ychwanegol yn y meysydd hyn wrth symud ymlaen. Cytunais y byddai’r Bwrdd Gwella a Sicrwydd yn parhau mewn grym hyd nes y gellid fy sicrhau bod pob prawf allweddol cytunedig wedi’i fodloni (neu fod cynlluniau digonol ar waith a chynnydd yn cael ei wneud) a bod trefniadau llywodraethu cadarn a arweinir yn lleol wedi’u sefydlu.
The provision of external advisers in relation to Education and Social Services was drawn to a close in October, with the Council putting in place their own arrangements securing additional capacity and capability in these areas going forward. I agreed the Improvement and Assurance Board would remain in place until such a point where I could be assured that all the agreed key tests had been met (or sufficient plans were in place and progress was being made) and robust locally led governance arrangements had been established.
