Daeth Adolygiadau Ymarfer Plant newydd i rym yng Nghymru ar 1 Ionawr, gan ddisodli’r Adolygiadau Achos Difrifol. Rwy’n gwybod bod cydweithwyr o fewn y GIG wedi gwneud cyfraniad allweddol at ddatblygu’r trefniadau hyn. Mae’r fframwaith newydd, blaengar hwn yn symud oddi wrth y ‘diwylliant o feio’ a arferai fod yn gysylltiedig ag achosion amddiffyn plant. Dylai hyn wella’r broses o ddysgu ac adolygu ar gyfer pob gweithiwr proffesiynol sy’n ymwneud ag amddiffyn plant. Bydd y fframwaith newydd hwn hefyd yn datblygu ac yn gwella ansawdd a chynaladwyedd y trefniadau sydd gennym heddiw i ddiogelu plant.
New Child Practice Reviews came into effect on 1 January in Wales, replacing the Serious Case Reviews.  I know that colleagues in the NHS were pivotal to the development of these arrangements. This new, innovative framework moves away from the ‘blame culture’ previously associated with child protection cases and should improve the process of learning and review for all professionals involved in child protection work.  This new framework will also build on, and improve, the quality and sustainability of the children’s safeguarding arrangements we have in place today.
