Dylai’r asesiadau ymdrin â’r ystod o ffactorau sy’n effeithio ar gyfleoedd plant a phobl ifanc i chwarae. Dylent gynnwys proffiliau demograffig o’r ardal, archwiliad o nifer y mannau agored, y mannau chwarae presennol a’r potensial i ddatblygu rhai newydd, y ddarpariaeth chwarae, y ddarpariaeth hamdden, ac unrhyw ffactorau eraill sy’n hyrwyddo cyfleoedd chwarae, gan gynnwys materion cynllunio, traffig, trafnidiaeth, mentrau cymunedol, a datblygu’r gweithlu.  Caiff y ddarpariaeth a’r cyfleoedd chwarae eu hasesu yn erbyn y meini prawf a nodir yn y Rheoliadau a’r Canllawiau Statudol, a fydd yn cynnwys ymgynghori â phlant a phobl ifanc.
The assessments should cover the range of factors that affect children and young people’s opportunities to play and include demographic profiles of the area; an audit of open space and existing and potential play space; play provision; recreational provision and other factors that promote play opportunities including planning; traffic; transport; community initiatives, as well as workforce development.  The sufficiency of provision and opportunities will be assessed against criteria set out in the Regulations and Statutory Guidance, which will include consultation with children and young people.
