Gan nad yw gwasanaethau maethu a mabwysiadu awdurdodau lleol yn ‘wasanaethau rheoleiddiedig’ o fewn ystyr Deddf 2016, ni fydd angen iddynt gofrestru gydag AGC ond byddant yn parhau i gael eu harolygu ganddynt. Fodd bynnag, mae wedi bod yn amcan polisi gennym i weithredu’r un safonau, i’r graddau y bo’n briodol, ar draws gwasanaethau rheoleiddiedig a gwasanaethau awdurdodau lleol. I gyflawni hyn, rydym wedi defnyddio pwerau o dan Ddeddf 2014 a Deddf Mabwysiadu a Phlant 2002, yn y drefn honno, i osod gofynion cyfatebol ar y gwasanaethau hyn. Rwy’n hyderus, drwy’r gofynion craidd yr ydym wedi’u rhoi ar waith – gan gynnwys y rhai hynny sy’n ymwneud â llywodraethu gwasanaethau, y ffordd y cânt eu cynnal, sut y dylid eu staffio a sut maent yn cefnogi ac yn diogelu pobl – ar gyfer gwasanaethau rheoleiddiedig a gwasanaethau awdurdod lleol, ein bod wedi cyflawni’r dull gweithredu cyson a ddymunir, gan nodi a gwneud addasiadau er mwyn sicrhau bod pob set o reoliadau yn darparu’r ateb gorau ar gyfer y gwasanaeth penodol.Atebolrwydd am wasanaethau rheoleiddiedig
As local authority fostering and adoption services are not ‘regulated services’ within the meaning of the 2016 Act, they will not need to register with CIW but will continue to be inspected by them. However it has been our policy objective to apply the same standards, in so far as appropriate, across regulated and local authority services. To achieve this we have used powers under the 2014 Act and the Adoption and Children Act 2002, respectively, to place equivalent requirements on these services. I am confident that through the core requirements we have put in place – including those in relation to the governance of services, the way in which they are carried out, how they should be staffed and how they support and safeguard people – for regulated and local authority services, we have achieved the desired consistency of approach, whilst identifying and making adjustments to ensure that each set of regulations provides the best fit for the particular service.Accountability for regulated services
