Mae tymor y Comisiynydd Plant presennol yn dod i ben ar 28 Chwefror 2015 ac fe ddechreuodd y broses o benodi ei olynydd  ar 23 Ebrill a gafodd ei oedi o ganlyniad i’r ad-drefnu diweddar. Fel arfer ar gyfer penodiadau cyhoeddus wedi’u rheoleiddio, pan fo’r Gweinidog yn newid, fel sydd wedi digwydd yn yr achos hwn, mae Swyddfa’r Comisiynydd Penodiadau Cyhoeddus wedi cadarnhau y byddai angen ailddechrau’r broses benodi. Er nad yw’r Comisiynydd Plant yn benodiad cyhoeddus wedi’i reoleiddio, rydym wedi dilyn yr un egwyddorion â phenodiad wedi’i reoleiddio.
The current Children’s Commissioner’s term comes to an end on 28 February 2015 and the process of appointing his successor began on 23 April 2014 and was paused as a consequence of the recent reshuffle. In normal circumstances for regulated public appointments where a change of Minister happens, as in this instance, the Office for the Commissioner on Public Appointments has confirmed the appointment process would need to start again. Whilst the appointment of the Children’s Commissioner is not a regulated public appointment, we have followed the same principles as for a regulated appointment.
