wrth asesu unigolyn bydd rhaid i’r awdurdod lleol ystyried cryfderau a gallu’r unigolyn, y teulu ac eraill sy’n eu cefnogi, yn ogystal ag anghenion yr unigolyn a’r canlyniad y mae’n dymuno ei weld;bod yr unigolyn yn gallu cael gafael ar wybodaeth, cyngor a chymorth (os oes angen hynny) yn ogystal ag amrywiaeth o wasanaethau atal a gwasanaethau eraill yn y gymuned, os oes gan yr unigolyn angen cymwys neu beidio.
when assessing an individual the local authority  must consider not only the individual’s needs and the outcome the person wishes to achieve but also the strengths and capacity of the individual, the family and others who may support them;irrespective of whether the individual has an eligible need they will have access to information, advice and (where necessary) assistance as well as to a range of preventative and other services in the community.
