Mae'r ddarpariaeth sy'n rhoi'r pŵer i Weinidogion uno Byrddau Diogelu Oedolion a Phlant hefyd wedi rhoi sylw i effaith bosibl y model pobl. Nododd y Pwyllgor nad yw wedi casglu unrhyw dystiolaeth oedd yn cefnogi'r syniad y byddai uno byrddau yn gwella diogelu. Nid yw'n fwriad gan Lywodraeth Cymru i uno byrddau yn y dyfodol agos. Mae'r ddarpariaeth hon wedi'i chynnwys oherwydd, o ystyried y model pobl, gallwn weld y manteision posibl a allai godi yn yr hirdymor yn sgil ystyried anghenion diogelu pobl, yn hytrach nag oedolion a phlant ar wahân. Maes o law, rydyn ni'n credu y bydd hyn yn ein galluogi i alinio bwriad strategol ag arferion a darparu gweithredol. Fodd bynnag, bydd hyn yn cael ei ystyried dim ond pan fyddwn yn siŵr y bydd yn arwain at ddiogelu pawb yn fwy effeithiol.
The potential impact of the people model has also received attention in the provision that provides the Welsh Ministers with the power to merge Safeguarding Adults and Children Boards. The Committee has commented that it did not gather any evidence that supported the idea that merging boards would improve safeguarding.  The Welsh Government has no plans to merge boards in the near future. The provision is included because, given the people approach, we can see potential benefits over the longer-term that might arise from considering the safeguarding needs of people, rather than separately as adults and children. In time, we believe that this will enable us to align strategic intent to operational practice and delivery. However, this will only be considered when we can be sure that it will result in more effective safeguarding for everyone.
