Awduron yr astudiaeth ddichonoldeb yw Heather Petch – arbenigwraig yn y cymorth sydd ar gael i’r rheini y gwrthodir lloches iddynt – a Tamsin Stirling – arbenigwraig yn sector tai Cymru. Gyda’i gilydd, maent wedi cynnig naw argymhelliad i Lywodraeth Cymru a’i phartneriaid eu gweithredu, gyda’r nod o gynyddu trefniadau anffurfiol i ofalu am yr unigolion hyn, ynghyd â chyngor cyfreithiol a threfniadau priodol i’w diogelu. Mae argymhellion pellach yn ymwneud â hyrwyddo’r cysyniad o Genedl Noddfa ar draws y sectorau tai a digartrefedd, datblygu trefniadau o ran opsiynau llety argyfwng, a cheisio dylanwadu ar bolisi Swyddfa Gartref y DU i warchod unigolion rhag y sefyllfaoedd mwyaf niweidiol. Rydym yn bwriadu gweithredu pob un o’r argymhellion hyn, er mwyn symud ymlaen tuag at ein nod o fod yn Genedl Noddfa.
The feasibility study was authored by Heather Petch – an expert in support for those refused asylum – and Tamsin Stirling – an expert in the Welsh housing sector. Together they have proposed nine recommendations for the Welsh Government and partners to take forward, with the aim of increasing the supply of informal ‘hosting’ arrangements, coupled with legal advice and appropriate safeguarding arrangements. Further recommendations seek the promotion of the Nation of Sanctuary concept across housing and homelessness sectors, developing accessibility to emergency accommodation options, and seeking to influence Home Office policy to prevent the most harmful outcomes for individuals. We intend to implement each of these recommendations, to continue our work towards becoming a Nation of Sanctuary.
