I blant a gofalwyr, dyma'r tro cyntaf i awdurdodau lleol roi meini prawf cymhwystra ar waith, ac mae gwahanol oblygiadau i'w hystyried. Bydd y system yn cadw dyletswyddau awdurdodau lleol i blant, sydd dan y trefniadau presennol yn cael eu diffinio fel 'mewn angen'. Fodd bynnag, bydd gan awdurdodau lleol ddyletswyddau penodol i blant sydd angen eu hamddiffyn; a phlant sy'n derbyn gofal, y mae gan Aelodau gyfrifoldeb corfforaethol drostynt.
For children and carers this will be the first time that local authorities will be required to apply an eligibility criteria and there are different implications to consider. The system will preserve local authorities responsibilities to children who in the current arrangements are defined as ‘in need’. However, local authorities will have specific duties to children in need of protection; and Looked After Children, for whom Members have a corporate responsibility.
