Mae darparu taliadau uniongyrchol  wedi cael ei gryfhau o dan y Ddeddf i alluogi taliadau i ddiwallu anghenion llesiant plentyn. Bydd dyletswydd ar awdurdodau lleol i ddarparu'r rhain lle y gellir diwallu canlyniadau llesiant plentyn drwy daliadau uniongyrchol a lle bydd y plentyn ei hun, neu berson sydd â chyfrifoldeb rhiant dros y plentyn hwnnw, yn gofyn amdanynt.
The provision of direct payments has been strengthened under the Act to allow payments to meet the wellbeing needs of a child. Local authorities will be under a duty to provide these where a child’s wellbeing outcomes can be met through direct payments and the child themselves, or a person with parental responsibility for that child, requests them.
