Mae’r cynllun gweithredu yn nodi opsiynau y gellir manteisio arnynt fel rhan o’r ymateb. Mae’r Ddeddf hon yn sicrhau bod gan yr asiantaethau a’r gwasanaethau sy’n chwarae rhan – ysgolion, ysbytai, yr heddlu ac eraill – yr arfau a’r pwerau angenrheidiol. Mae gan bob un o bedair gwlad y DU ei set o gyfreithiau ei hun, ac felly mae’r arfau a’r pwerau yn wahanol (i raddau amrywiol) ym mhob maes. Bydd cysondeb o ran canlyniad drwy sicrhau bod yr amrywiaeth o arfau a phwerau yn gyson ar draws y DU.
The action plan sets out options that can be taken as part of the response. This Act ensures that the agencies and services involved – schools, hospitals, the police and others – have the tools and powers they need. Each of the four nations of the UK has its own set of laws, and thus these tools and powers differ (to varying degrees) in each area. Consistency of outcome will be achieved by making the range of tools and powers consistent across the UK.
