Rwyf wedi gofyn i'r Panel fy nghynghori ynghylch agweddau penodol ar y cynigion yn y Bil sy'n ymwneud â diogelu ac amddiffyn plant ac oedolion, ac ar ddatblygu rheoliadau a chanllawiau. Bydd y Panel yn sicrhau bod ei waith yn ystyried safbwyntiau defnyddwyr gwasanaethau a grwpiau rhanddeiliaid eraill yn llawn. Rwy’n falch iawn ein bod ni, drwy benodi’r Panel, wedi sicrhau arbenigedd sylweddol o Gymru a thu hwnt i fanylu ar y trefniadau diogelu. Mae’r aelodau’n cynnwys Wendy Rose, oed yn allweddol o ran helpu i ddatblygu’r fframwaith Adolygiadau Ymarfer Plant newydd yng Nghymru, Ruth Henke QC, Mr Ian Bottrill, a’r Athro John Williams o Brifysgol Aberystwyth a oedd yn ddiweddar yn gynghorydd cyfreithiol arbenigol i’r Pwyllgor Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol a edrychodd yn fanwl ar ddarpariaethau’r Bil.
I have asked the Panel to provide advice to me on specific aspects of the proposals contained in the Bill relating to safeguarding and protection of children and adults, and on the development of regulations and guidance. The Panel will ensure that the views of service users and other stakeholder groups are considered fully in its work.  I am delighted that through the appointment of the Panel we have managed to secure considerable expertise from Wales and beyond to help build the detail of the safeguarding arrangements. Members include Wendy Rose, who was pivotal in helping develop the new Child Practice Review framework in Wales, Ruth Henke QC, Mr Ian Bottrill and Professor John Williams of Aberystwyth University who has recently acted as an expert legal advisor to the Health and Social Care Committee which looked in such detail at the Bill provisions.
