Hefyd yn 2011, gofynnais i'r Byrddau Lleol Diogelu Plant ddechrau cynllunio ar gyfer newid cyn y ddeddfwriaeth newydd. Rwy'n falch o nodi bod gwaith yn mynd rhagddo, a bod ardaloedd fel Bae’r Gorllewin, Cwm Taf a Gwent wedi sefydlu Byrddau Diogelu ar gyfer oedolion a phlant eisoes. Nid wyf yn diystyru'r cymhlethdodau sydd ynghlwm â'r gwaith hwn ac rwy'n falch bod Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru wrthi'n gwneud asesiad ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru ynghylch hynt yr ôl-troed newydd ledled Cymru.
Also in 2011, I asked LSCBs to start planning for change in advance of the new legislation. I am pleased that progress is being made, and that areas such as Western Bay,Cwm Taf  and Gwent already have Safeguarding Boards for both adults and children in place. I do not under-estimate the complexities involved in this work and I am pleased that the Welsh Local Government Association is presently undertaking an exercise on the Welsh Government’s behalf to assess the level of progress to the new footprint across Wales.
