Mae ein gallu i sicrhau’r newid o genhedlaeth i genhedlaeth sy’n ofynnol o dan y Bil hwn o ran cyflenwi gwasanaethau yn dibynnu ar sicrhau bod pawb sy’n cymryd rhan mewn gwaith cyflenwi yn meddu ar y sgiliau y mae arnynt eu hangen. Ni ddylem danbrisio felly, bwysigrwydd y gofynion hyfforddi a fydd yn deillio o weithredu’r ddeddfwriaeth hon. Dyna paham mae’r Memorandwm Esboniadol ar gyfer y Bil yn cyfeirio at Grant Datblygu’r Gweithlu Gofal Cymdeithasol (SCDWP) lle mae 70% o gyfanswm y gost yn cynnwys grant a ddefnyddir gan gyflogwyr i atodi eu hadnoddau hyfforddiant eu hunain. Yn 2013/14 daw hyn i £8.1m.  Mae’r Memorandwm Esboniadol yn egluro fy mwriad i’r arian grant hwn gael ei ailgyfeirio i sicrhau bod y staff perthnasol yn cael yr hyfforddiant y mae ei angen drwy gydol y broses o baratoi am y Ddeddf a gweithredu’r Ddeddf. Mae hyn yn gydnaws â dibenion gwreiddiol y grant a grëwyd yn wreiddiol i gefnogi deddfwriaeth o bwys megis Deddf Plant 1989 a Deddf y Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol a Gofal Cymunedol 1990.
Our ability to achieve the generational change in service delivery required under this Bill is reliant on making sure all those involved in delivery have the skills they need. We should not underestimate therefore, the importance of the training requirements that will arise from the implementation of this legislation. For this reason the Explanatory Memorandum for the Bill makes reference to the Social Care Workforce Development Grant (SCDWP) of which 70% of the total cost is made up of a grant used by employers to supplement their own training resources. In 2013/14 this amounts to £8.1m. The EM makes clear my intention for this grant funding to be “re-directed to ensure the relevant staff receive the training they need throughout the preparation for, and implementation of, the Act”. This is in keeping with the original purposes for this grant which first came into being to support major legislation such as the Children Act 1989 and the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990.
