Rydym yn cydnabod nad oes gan nifer o geiswyr lloches, na'r rheini y gwrthodwyd eu cais am loches, fynediad at gyngor cyfreithiol o ansawdd da. Gallai hynny tanseilio eu ceisiadau am loches a'u gorfodi i ddioddef amddifadedd. Yn ogystal, rydym wedi comisiynu gwaith ymchwil i edrych ar opsiynau i gefnogi unigolion o'r fath drwy roi cyngor cyfreithiol iddynt a thrwy broffesiynoli trefniadau 'croesawu' ar gyfer y ceiswyr hynny y gwrthodwyd eu cais am loches. Mae hwn yn faes cymhleth na allwn ei ddatrys yn gyflym, ond rydym yn gwneud cynnydd da o ran chwilio am atebion a allai bodloni gofynion unigolion mewn modd cynaliadwy. Drwy roi to uwch pennau'r unigolion hynny ar adeg dyngedfennol, mae'n rhoi cyfle iddynt ystyried eu hopsiynau, a allai arwain at wneud cais newydd am loches, neu fod yn rhan o broses Llywodraeth y DU sy'n trefnu i ffoaduriaid ddychwelyd yn wirfoddol.
We recognise that many asylum seekers and refused asylum seekers do not have access to good quality legal advice. This can undermine their asylum claims and force them into destitution. We have also commissioned research to look into options to support such individuals through the provision of legal advice and professionalising ‘hosting’ arrangements for refused asylum seekers. This is a complex issue which cannot be resolved hastily but we are making good progress on looking for solutions which could offer sustainable solutions for individuals. By providing these individuals with a roof over their heads at such a critical time, it allows them an opportunity to explore their options, which may lead to a fresh asylum claim, or engagement with the UK government‘s voluntary returns process.
