Rhaid i ddull gweithredu ataliol fod yn ganolog i’r ffordd y mae gwasanaethau'n cael eu darparu. Felly, gallai hyn olygu bod angen helpu i ymateb i heriau sy'n ymwneud â'r gweithlu, megis nifer y staff sy'n gadael a nifer y swyddi gwag, y ddibyniaeth gynyddol ar staff asiantaeth, a'r angen i ddarparu datblygiad proffesiynol parhaus er mwyn helpu i greu gweithlu cynaliadwy. O ran gwasanaethau plant, gallai hynny olygu canolbwyntio ar liniaru'r pwysau presennol megis costau lleoliadau neu wella'r cymorth a'r cyngor cychwynnol a roddir i deuluoedd. O ran pwysau'r gaeaf, gallai olygu cynllunio ar gyfer ymateb i alw ychwanegol am adnoddau gofal cymdeithasol, megis pecynnau gofal cartref, gwelyau ailalluogi, a gwasanaethau gofal a thrwsio, er mwyn galluogi'r gwasanaethau cymdeithasol i roi cymorth i bobl yn eu cartrefi a'u cymunedau.
So that a preventative approach continues to be at the heart of delivery, this may mean helping to address workforce challenges such as high turnover and vacancy rates, a growing reliance on agency staff and continuing professional development needs to support a sustainable workforce. For Children’s services this could mean focussing on mitigating existing pressures such as placement costs or enhancing early support and advice for families. For winter pressures this could mean planning for and responding to additional demands on social care resources, such as domiciliary care packages, reablement beds and care and repair services, in order to enable social services to support people in their homes and communities.
