cy-gb	Mae asesu galluedd plant yn ymwneud â gallu’r plentyn i ddeall materion sy’n gysylltiedig â’i ADY, fel y’i nodir ym mharagraff 30.5.  

en-gb	In most cases, the teachers in the school which the child attends will know whether or not a child has capacity because they work with the child on a daily basis.  
cy-gb	Yn y rhan fwyaf o achosion, bydd yr athrawon yn yr ysgol y mae’r plentyn yn ei mynychu yn gwybod a oes ganddo alluedd ai peidio am eu bod yn gweithio gyda’r plentyn yn ddyddiol.  

en-gb	NHS bodies and local authorities can also assess a child’s capacity .  
cy-gb	Gall cyrff y GIG ac awdurdodau lleol hefyd asesu galluedd plentyn.

en-gb	 Assessing a child’s capacity is different to the more formal assessment undertaken for young people or parents of children who may lack capacity (see Chapter 31).

en-gb	Where a child or the child’s parent disagrees with a decision that a child does not have capacity, this can be challenged in the following ways:  
cy-gb	  Os yw plentyn neu riant y plentyn yn anghytuno â phenderfyniad nad oes gan y plentyn alluedd, gellir ei herio fel a ganlyn:  

en-gb	Decisions by schools that a child does or does not have capacity can be referred by a child or their parent, for local authority reconsideration.  
cy-gb	Gall plentyn neu ei riant atgyfeirio penderfyniad bod gan, neu nad oes gan blentyn alluedd, i’w ailystyried gan yr awdurdod lleol.  

en-gb	If the local authority decides that the child does have capacity, the specific rights conferred on the child are exercisable by the child 13 ; 
cy-gb	Os yw’r awdurdod lleol yn penderfynu bod gan y plentyn alluedd, gall y plentyn arfer yr hawliau penodol a roddwyd iddo ; 

en-gb	A child or a child’s parent may apply to the Tribunal for a declaration  that a child does or does not have capacity  (see paragraph 30.12).  
cy-gb	Gall plentyn neu riant plentyn wneud cais i’r Tribiwnlys am ddatganiad  bod gan, neu nad oes gan blentyn alluedd  (gweler paragraff 30.12).  

en-gb	Where the Tribunal declares that the child does have capacity, the specific rights conferred on the child are exercisable by the child; 
cy-gb	Os yw’r Tribiwnlys yn datgan bod gan y plentyn alluedd, gall y plentyn arfer yr hawliau penodol a roddwyd iddo;  

en-gb	 For information on how to apply to the Tribunal for a Declaration see Chapter 33, paragraphs 33.8 to 33.10.

cy-gb	Pan nad oes gan blentyn alluedd, caiff y Tribiwnlys drwy orchymyn benodi person i fod yn gyfaill achos.  

en-gb	Where a case friend is appointed, the specific rights conferred on the child are to be exercised by the case friend on behalf of the child.  
cy-gb	Pan fydd cyfaill achos wedi’i benodi, mae’r hawliau a roddwyd i’r plentyn i gael eu harfer gan y cyfaill achos ar ran y plentyn.  

en-gb	Case friends are only available to children who lack capacity.  
cy-gb	Dim ond i blant nad oes ganddynt alluedd y mae cyfeillion achos ar gael.  

en-gb	Where a child is found to have capacity, alternative support will be available to them , for example they can access independent advocates (see Chapter 32)  
cy-gb	Os penderfynir bod gan blentyn alluedd, bydd cymorth arall ar gael iddo , er enghraifft bydd modd iddo ddefnyddio eiriolwyr annibynnol (gweler Pennod 32).

en-gb	In addition to responding to an application, the Tribunal may also make a determination of the child’s capacity on its own initiative.  
cy-gb	Yn ogystal ag ymateb i gais, caiff y Tribiwnlys hefyd benderfynu ynghylch galluedd plentyn ar ei ysgogiad ei hun.  

en-gb	For example, if a child is bringing an appeal on their own without a case friend, the Tribunal may make an assessment on the child’s capacity and if the Tribunal believes the child does not understand what it means to exercise their rights, the Tribunal will halt proceedings until a case friend has been appointed.  
cy-gb	Er enghraifft, os yw plentyn yn cyflwyno apêl ei hun heb gyfaill achos, gall y Tribiwnlys asesu galluedd y plentyn.  Os yw’r Tribiwnlys o’r farn nad yw’r plentyn yn deall yr hyn y mae’n ei olygu i arfer ei hawliau, bydd yn atal yr achos hyd nes bod cyfaill achos wedi’i benodi.  

en-gb	In most cases, evidence from the child’s teacher or other relevant professionals who know the child will be sufficient for the Tribunal to make their assessment on the child’s capacity.  
cy-gb	Yn y rhan fwyaf o achosion, bydd tystiolaeth gan athro’r plentyn neu weithwyr proffesiynol perthnasol eraill sy’n adnabod y plentyn yn ddigon i’r Tribiwnlys wneud ei asesiad ar alluedd y plentyn.  

en-gb	This evidence could be a statement that gives an informed opinion of the child’s level of capacity.  
cy-gb	Gallai’r dystiolaeth hon fod yn ddatganiad sy’n rhoi barn wybodus am lefel galluedd y plentyn.  

en-gb	However, in some circumstances the Tribunal may require expert evidence to support their determination.    
cy-gb	Fodd bynnag, o dan rai amgylchiadau efallai y bydd ar y Tribiwnlys angen tystiolaeth arbenigol i gefnogi ei benderfyniad.

cy-gb	 Mae gan blant, a rhieni, hawl i gyflwyno apêl i’r Tribiwnlys.  

en-gb	Case friends allow children lacking capacity who are seeking to bring their own case to have representation and a voice where, for example, their parents may not be able to bring and to pursue dispute resolution and appeals at the Tribunal.  
cy-gb	Mae cyfeillion achos yn caniatáu i blant nad oes ganddynt alluedd ac sy’n dymuno cyflwyno eu hachos eu hunain, gael cynrychiolaeth a llais, er enghraifft, os nad yw eu rhieni’n gallu cyflwyno apêl i’r Tribiwnlys neu fynd ati i ddatrys anghydfod.  

en-gb	Where required, case friends can be used by the child at earlier stages prior to a more formal dispute resolution procedure or an appeal.  
cy-gb	Pan fo angen, gall plentyn ddefnyddio cyfeillion achos yn gynharach yn y broses cyn gweithdrefn fwy ffurfiol ar gyfer datrys anghydfod neu apêl.

cy-gb	 Mae cyfeillion achos yn wahanol i eiriolwyr annibynnol am eu bod yn arfer hawliau’r plentyn ar ei ran o dan ddarpariaethau penodol yn y Ddeddf ; tra bod eiriolwyr annibynnol yn cynnig cyngor a chymorth a chynrychiolaeth .  

en-gb	Case friends listen to the child and work with them to ensure the child’s voice is always represented in decisions affecting them.  
cy-gb	Mae cyfeillion achos yn gwrando ar y plentyn ac yn gweithio gydag ef i sicrhau bod ei lais yn cael ei gynrychioli bob amser mewn penderfyniadau sy’n effeithio arno.

cy-gb	30.17

en-gb	A child will usually have a parent or guardian with them when discussing their ALN with a teacher or ALNCo, or when attending an IDP meeting.  
cy-gb	 Fel arfer, bydd rhiant neu warcheidwad gyda’r plentyn pan fydd yn trafod ei ADY gydag athro neu gydlynydd ADY, neu pan fydd yn mynd i gyfarfod ynghylch CDU.  

en-gb	However, if a case friend has been appointed, they can also attend these meetings to support and represent them, and make decisions relating to their ALN.  
cy-gb	Fodd bynnag, os penodwyd cyfaill achos, gall y cyfaill achos hefyd fynd i’r cyfarfodydd hyn i’w gefnogi a’i gynrychioli a gwneud penderfyniadau yn ymwneud â’i ADY.  

en-gb	30.18. 
cy-gb	30.18

en-gb	If the child has a disagreement relating to their ALN, a case friend can access the arrangements made by local authorities for the avoidance and resolution of disagreements .  
cy-gb	 Os yw’r plentyn yn anghytuno ynghylch rhywbeth sy’n gysylltiedig â’i ADY, gall cyfaill achos ddefnyddio’r trefniadau a wnaed gan yr awdurdodau lleol ar gyfer osgoi a datrys anghytundebau .  

en-gb	When making these arrangements, local authorities will need to be aware that case friends may be used and ensure any arrangements and procedures also involve the case friend, where appropriate.  
cy-gb	Wrth wneud y trefniadau hyn, bydd angen i’r awdurdodau lleol fod yn ymwybodol y gallai cyfeillion achos gael eu defnyddio a sicrhau bod unrhyw drefniadau a gweithdrefnau hefyd yn cynnwys y cyfaill achos, pan fo’n briodol.  

en-gb	Early dispute resolution involving case friends can be useful in resolving issues at the earliest stage, avoiding a more formal and burdensome route to the Tribunal.  
cy-gb	Gall defnyddio cyfeillion achos o’r cychwyn cyntaf fod yn ddefnyddiol er mwyn datrys materion yn gynnar, gan osgoi llwybr mwy ffurfiol a beichus i’r Tribiwnlys.

cy-gb	31.1 

en-gb	This chapter relates to young people who lack capacity at the relevant time, and also to parents of a child where a parent  lacks capacity at the relevant time.  
cy-gb	 Mae’r bennod hon yn berthnasol i bobl ifanc nad oes ganddynt alluedd ar yr adeg berthnasol, a hefyd i rieni plentyn pan nad oes gan riant  alluedd ar yr adeg berthnasol.  

en-gb	Young people, and parents, can use a representative to act on their behalf when exercising rights under the Act if they lack capacity.  
cy-gb	Os nad oes ganddynt alluedd, gall pobl ifanc a rhieni ddefnyddio cynrychiolydd i weithredu ar eu rhan wrth arfer eu hawliau o dan y Ddeddf.  

en-gb	This chapter also explains who can be a representative for that parent or young person.  
cy-gb	Mae’r bennod hon hefyd yn egluro pwy all fod yn gynrychiolydd i’r rhiant neu’r person ifanc hwnnw.  

en-gb	 References in this chapter to “parents” refer to a parent of a child, where that parent lacks capacity. 
cy-gb	 Yn y bennod hon, mae cyfeiriadau at “rieni” yn cyfeirio at riant plentyn, pan nad oes gan y rhiant hwnnw alluedd.

en-gb	The definition for young people and parents lacking capacity in the Act 2  has the same meaning as ‘lacking capacity’ in the Mental Capacity Act 2005 .  
cy-gb	 Mae’r diffiniad ar gyfer pobl ifanc a rhieni nad oes ganddynt alluedd yn y Ddeddf  yn dilyn yr un ystyr â ‘lacking capacity’ yn Neddf Galluedd Meddyliol 2005 .  

en-gb	It means a person who lacks the capacity to make a particular decision or take a particular action for themselves at the time the decision or action needs to be taken.  
cy-gb	Mae’n golygu person nad oes ganddo’r galluedd i wneud penderfyniad penodol neu i wneud rhywbeth penodol drosto’i hun ar yr adeg y mae angen penderfynu neu weithredu.

en-gb	The Lacking Capacity Regulations also provide that where a young person lacks capacity, specified references to the young person are to be read as references to the young person’s representative, or to the young person’s parent.  
cy-gb	Mae’r Rheoliadau Galluedd hefyd yn nodi y dylid darllen cyfeiriadau at berson ifanc nad oes ganddo alluedd fel cyfeiriadau at gynrychiolydd y person ifanc, neu at riant y person ifanc.  

en-gb	These Regulations also provide who can act as a representative in the context of the Act.

en-gb	A young person or parent who lacks capacity will usually have already been identified as such, for example by NHS, or education professionals in the case of a young person.
cy-gb	 Fel arfer, bydd person ifanc neu riant nad oes ganddo alluedd eisoes wedi’i adnabod felly, er enghraifft gan y GIG neu weithwyr addysg proffesiynol yn achos person ifanc.

cy-gb	31.7 

en-gb	The Mental Capacity Act 2005 sets out five key principles 8 : 
cy-gb	 Mae’r Ddeddf Galluedd Meddyliol yn gosod pum egwyddor allweddol : 

en-gb	A person must be assumed to have capacity unless it is established that they lack capacity. 
cy-gb	Rhaid tybio fod gan berson alluedd oni phrofir nad oes ganddo alluedd. 

en-gb	A person is not to be treated as unable to make a decision unless all practicable steps to help them to do so have been taken without success. 
cy-gb	Ni cheir trin person fel rhywun nad oes ganddo alluedd i wneud ei benderfyniad ei hun oni bai bod pob cam ymarferol i roi cymorth i berson wneud hynny wedi ei gymryd heb lwyddiant. 

en-gb	A person is not to be treated as unable to make a decision merely because they make an unwise decision.  
cy-gb	Ni ddylid trin person fel rhywun nad oes ganddo alluedd i wneud penderfyniad dim ond oherwydd iddo wneud penderfyniad annoeth.  

en-gb	An act done, or decision made, for or on behalf of a person who lacks capacity must be done, or made, in his best interests.  
cy-gb	Rhaid i weithred neu benderfyniad a wneir dros neu ar ran rhywun nad oes ganddo alluedd fod er ei fudd pennaf.  

en-gb	Before the act is done, or the decision is made, regard must be had to whether the purpose for which it is needed can be as effectively achieved in a way that is less restrictive of the person's rights and freedom of action. 
cy-gb	Cyn i weithred neu benderfyniad gael ei wneud, rhaid ystyried a oes ffordd arall o gyflawni’r un diben sy’n cyfyngu llai ar hawliau’r person a’i ryddid i weithredu.

en-gb	Where a child’s parent or a young person lacks capacity at the relevant time, arrangements made by a local authority for avoiding and resolving disagreements must 7  provide for a representative to engage in the arrangements on the person’s behalf. 
cy-gb	Os nad oes gan riant plentyn neu berson ifanc alluedd ar yr adeg berthnasol, rhaid 7  i drefniadau a wneir gan awdurdod lleol ar gyfer osgoi a datrys anghytundebau ddarparu ar gyfer cynrychiolydd i gymryd rhan yn y trefniadau ar ran y person. 

en-gb	Local authorities must promote the arrangements for avoiding and resolving disputes.  
cy-gb	Rhaid i awdurdodau lleol hyrwyddo’r trefniadau ar gyfer osgoi a datrys anghytundebau.  

en-gb	One method, for example, is by ensuring that children, their parents and young people receive details of the arrangements when they receive notice of a decision by the local authority.  
cy-gb	Un dull, er enghraifft, yw trwy sicrhau bod plant, eu rhieni, a phobl ifanc yn cael manylion y trefniadau wrth gael hysbysiad o benderfyniad gan yr awdurdod lleol.  

en-gb	Local Authorities must take reasonable steps to inform children, their parents and young people that entering into disagreement resolution arrangements does not affect any rights they have to appeal to the Tribunal.

en-gb	The arrangements should also be promoted and publicised more generally at earlier opportunities, for example at early meetings to discuss a child or young person’s ALN. 
cy-gb	Dylid hefyd hyrwyddo a rhoi cyhoeddusrwydd i’r trefniadau yn fwy cyffredinol ar gyfleoedd cynharach, er enghraifft mewn cyfarfodydd cynnar i drafod ADY plentyn neu berson ifanc.

en-gb	When providing this information it should be in a suitable format to assist children, their parents and young people to understand what the arrangements are, for example, by using plain language.  
cy-gb	Wrth ddarparu’r wybodaeth hon, dylid  sicrhau ei bod mewn fformat addas er mwyn helpu plant, eu rhieni, a phobl ifanc i ddeall y trefniadau, er enghraifft, trwy ddefnyddio iaith syml.  

en-gb	The information should include how to access these arrangements, such as providing a point of contact, a telephone number and email address.  
cy-gb	Dylai’r  wybodaeth gynnwys sut i ddefnyddio’r trefniadau hyn, er enghraifft trwy ddarparu man cyswllt, rhif ffôn a chyfeiriad e-bost.

cy-gb	 Gofyniad a osodir gan y Cod.  

en-gb	11  Section 49 of the Act. 
cy-gb	 Adran 49 o’r Ddeddf. 

en-gb	The local authority must 11  ensure its arrangements for avoiding and resolving disagreements are provided free of charge at the point of delivery. 
cy-gb	Rhaid  i’r awdurdod lleol sicrhau bod ei drefniadau ar gyfer osgoi a datrys anghytundebau ar gael yn ddi-dâl yn y man darparu. 

en-gb	The local authority must ensure that those delivering the arrangements have a detailed understanding of the ALN system.  
cy-gb	Rhaid i’r awdurdod lleol sicrhau bod y rhai sy’n gyfrifol am y trefniadau yn deall y system ADY yn fanwl.  

en-gb	To do so, the local authority should ensure appropriate training and development is provided and training is refreshed to improve standards. 
cy-gb	I sicrhau hyn, dylai’r  awdurdod lleol sicrhau y darperir hyfforddiant a chyfleoedd datblygu priodol, a bod hyfforddiant yn cael ei ddiweddaru er mwyn gwella safonau. 

en-gb	 Requirement imposed by the Code.

en-gb	 Requirement imposed by the Code.  
cy-gb	 Gofyniad a osodir gan y Cod.  

en-gb	The local authority must ensure the arrangements made are accessible to children and young people and delivered in a way which meets their communication preferences and needs (see Chapter 4 on involving and supporting children, their parents and young people). 
cy-gb	Rhaid i’r awdurdod lleol sicrhau bod y trefniadau sy’n cael eu gwneud yn hygyrch i blant a phobl ifanc, a’u bod yn cael eu cyflwyno mewn ffordd sy’n diwallu eu dewisiadau ac anghenion cyfathrebu (gweler Pennod 4 ar gynnwys a chefnogi plant, eu rhieni, a phobl ifanc). 

en-gb	 Requirement imposed by the Code.  
cy-gb	 Gofyniad a osodir gan y Cod.  

en-gb	Some children will want to access these arrangements with their parents or, if they have one, their case friend.  
cy-gb	Bydd rhai plant eisiau dilyn y trefniadau hyn gyda’u rhieni, neu gyda chyfaill achos os yn berthnasol.  

en-gb	However some children, especially older children, may want to access the arrangements separately from their parents.  
cy-gb	Fodd bynnag, mae’n bosibl y bydd rhai plant, yn enwedig plant hŷn, eisiau cael dilyn y trefniadau yn annibynnol ar eu rhieni. 

en-gb	Local authorities must  facilitate this.  
cy-gb	Rhaid  i awdurdodau lleol hwyluso hyn.

cy-gb	Trefniadau i ddatrys anghytundebau 

en-gb	32.21. 
cy-gb	32.21

en-gb	Where it has not been possible to prevent disagreements arising, the disagreements should be resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible.  
cy-gb	 Os nad oedd modd atal anghytundebau rhag codi, dylai’r  anghytundebau gael eu datrys mor gyflym ac mor effeithiol â phosibl.  

en-gb	Early resolution of disagreements significantly benefits the child or young person and can avoid unnecessary stress for the individuals and their family, for example if a matter ultimately has to be resolved at the Tribunal.  
cy-gb	Mae datrys anghytundebau yn gynnar yn fanteisiol iawn i’r plentyn neu’r person ifanc, gan osgoi straen diangen ar gyfer unigolion a’u teuluoedd, er enghraifft os oes angen datrys problem yn y Tribiwnlys yn y pen draw.  

en-gb	The arrangements to resolve disagreements can help resolve the issues before they escalate further, and provide the opportunity to restore or improve the relationship between the child, child’s parent or the young person and the school, FEI or local authority. 
cy-gb	Mae’r trefniadau i ddatrys anghytundebau yn gallu helpu i ddatrys problemau cyn iddynt waethygu, a rhoi cyfle i adfer neu wella’r berthynas rhwng y plentyn, rhiant y plentyn neu’r person ifanc a’r ysgol, y sefydliad addysg bellach neu awdurdod lleol. 

en-gb	32.22. 
cy-gb	32.22

en-gb	Local authorities must  make arrangements for resolving disagreements (disagreement resolution arrangements) between a maintained school, FEI, local authority and proprietor of a relevant institution, and a child, child’s parent or young person.  
cy-gb	 Rhaid  i awdurdodau lleol wneud trefniadau ar gyfer datrys anghytundebau (trefniadau datrys anghytundebau) rhwng ysgol a gynhelir, sefydliad addysg bellach, awdurdod lleol a pherchennog sefydliad perthnasol, a phlentyn, rhiant plentyn, neu berson ifanc.  

en-gb	These arrangements must relate to the way that schools/FEIs/local authorities undertake their duties under the Act and the way that ALP is made and delivered, including if it is felt that the ALP is not being delivered in a suitable manner or to a suitable quality.    
cy-gb	Rhaid  i’r trefniadau hyn ymwneud â dulliau ysgolion/sefydliadau addysg bellach/awdurdodau lleol o gyflawni eu dyletswyddau o dan y Ddeddf, a’u dulliau o lunio a darparu DDdY, gan gynnwys mewn achosion honedig lle nad yw DDdY yn cael ei darparu mewn ffordd addas neu i safon addas.

en-gb	In the first instance the child, child’s parent or young person should be supported to raise their concerns at the most suitable local level.  
cy-gb	Yn y lle cyntaf, dylid  cynorthwyo’r plentyn, rhiant y plentyn, neu’r person ifanc i fynegi pryderon ar y lefel leol fwyaf addas.  

en-gb	In many instances this will be with the education setting that the child or young person attends, e.g. the pre-school setting, school or FEI. 
cy-gb	Mewn llawer o achosion, bydd hyn yn digwydd yn y lleoliad addysg a fynychir gan y plentyn neu’r person ifanc, e.e. lleoliad cyn ysgol, ysgol neu sefydliad addysg bellach. 

en-gb	32.24. 
cy-gb	32.24

en-gb	Local authorities should consider how their arrangements can incorporate or complement existing complaint procedures which exist within schools and FEIs in order to ensure that disagreements can be resolved as soon as possible at the most local level possible. 
cy-gb	 Dylai awdurdodau lleol ystyried sut mae eu trefniadau’n gallu cynnwys neu ategu’r gweithdrefnau cwyno sydd eisoes yn bodoli mewn ysgolion a sefydliadau addysg bellach er mwyn sicrhau bod modd datrys anghytundebau mor fuan â phosibl ar y lefel fwyaf lleol posibl. 

en-gb	32.25. 
cy-gb	32.25 

en-gb	Where a maintained school has made a decision that a child or young person has ALN, or has refused to make a decision, the child, child’s parent or young person has an opportunity to request that the local authority reconsiders the matter.
cy-gb	Os yw ysgol a gynhelir wedi gwneud penderfyniad bod gan blentyn neu berson ifanc ADY, neu ei bod wedi gwrthod gwneud penderfyniad, mae’r plentyn, rhiant y plentyn neu’r person ifanc yn cael cyfle i ofyn i’r awdurdod lleol ailystyried y mater.

en-gb	If a school maintains an IDP for a child or young person and the child, child’s parent or young person considers that the IDP does not meet the needs of the child or young person, then the local authority can be asked to reconsider and revise the plan.
cy-gb	Os bydd ysgol yn cynnal CDU ar gyfer plentyn neu berson ifanc a bod y plentyn, rhiant y plentyn neu’r person ifanc yn ystyried nad yw’r CDU yn diwallu anghenion y plentyn neu’r person ifanc, gellir gofyn i’r awdurdod lleol ailystyried a diwygio’r cynllun.

en-gb	The local authority’s disagreement resolution arrangements should deal with any questions from the child, child’s parent or young person.  
cy-gb	 Dylai trefniadau’r awdurdod lleol ar gyfer datrys anghytundebau ymdrin ag unrhyw gwestiynau gan y plentyn, rhiant y plentyn, neu’r person ifanc.  

en-gb	It should be explained that the arrangements are informal and accessible, and provide a simple process designed to bring two parties together to clarify the issues and reach a resolution.  
cy-gb	Dylid egluro bod y trefniadau’n anffurfiol ac yn hygyrch, ac mai eu nod yw darparu proses syml i ddod â’r ddwy ochr ynghyd er mwyn egluro’r problemau a’u datrys.  

en-gb	32.27. 
cy-gb	32.27 

en-gb	Successful disagreement resolution arrangements will generally reduce the need to take a dispute to the Tribunal, and lead to a quicker resolution of any disagreements saving significant time and money for the parties involved, and minimising disruption to the child or young person’s learning.   
cy-gb	Yn gyffredinol, bydd trefniadau llwyddiannus ar gyfer datrys anghytundebau yn lleihau’r angen i fynd ag anghydfod i’r Tribiwnlys, gan ddatrys unrhyw anghytundebau’n gyflymach, arbed amser ac arian sylweddol i’r partïon perthnasol, ac amharu cyn lleied â phosibl ar addysg y plentyn neu’r person ifanc.  

en-gb	32.28. 
cy-gb	32.28

en-gb	The aims of disagreement resolution are to: 
cy-gb	 Amcanion datrys anghytundeb yw: 

en-gb	help bring together the relevant parties; 
cy-gb	helpu i ddod â’r partïon perthnasol ynghyd;

cy-gb	cefnogi anghenion y plentyn a’r person ifanc;

cy-gb	helpu i sicrhau bod anghytundebau’n cael eu datrys yn gynnar ac yn anffurfiol trwy drafod a chytuno; trafod yr holl ddewisiadau posibl. 

en-gb	All participants, including the child, child’s parent or young person, need to feel confident that their views, wishes and feelings will be listened to.  
cy-gb	 Mae’n rhaid i bawb sy’n cymryd rhan yn y broses, gan gynnwys y plentyn, rhiant y plentyn, neu’r person ifanc, deimlo’n hyderus y bydd pobl yn gwrando ar eu safbwyntiau, eu dymuniadau a’u teimladau.  

en-gb	The purpose of disagreement resolution is not to apportion blame, but to seek to resolve disagreements by achieving a solution to a difference of views in the best interests of the child or young person.  
cy-gb	Nid rhoi bai yw diben datrys anghytundeb.  Nod y broses yw datrys anghytundebau trwy sicrhau ateb pan fo gwahaniaeth barn, er budd pennaf y plentyn neu’r person ifanc.  

en-gb	When a child, child’s parent or young person decides to use the disagreement resolution arrangements, the parties should arrange to meet  at a time suited to all and an open communication channel should be kept with prompt responses to any requests.  
cy-gb	Os yw plentyn, rhiant y plentyn, neu’r person ifanc yn penderfynu defnyddio’r trefniadau datrys anghytundeb, dylai’r  partïon drefnu i gyfarfod  ar amser sy’n addas i bawb, a dylid  cynnal sianel gyfathrebu agored ac ymateb yn gyflym i unrhyw geisiadau.  

en-gb	This should be arranged at the earliest possible opportunity to enable a prompt resolution.  
cy-gb	Dylid  trefnu hyn mor fuan â phosibl er mwyn gallu datrys y mater yn gyflym.

cy-gb	Er enghraifft, dylai defnydd da o drefniadau datrys anghytundebau wneud y canlynol: 

en-gb	narrow down the areas of disagreement in one or more component parts of a dispute; 
cy-gb	lleihau’r meysydd y ceir anghytuno yn eu cylch mewn un rhan neu fwy o anghydfod;

en-gb	The arrangements can include aspects such as pre meeting conversations with both sides of the disagreement, a neutral venue within an agreed timescale (there may need to be more than one meeting) and an ‘agreements reached’ and/or ‘agreement to disagree’ statement following the process.
cy-gb	 Mae’r trefniadau’n gallu cynnwys elfennau fel sgyrsiau cyn y cyfarfod gyda dwy ochr yr anghytundeb, lleoliad niwtral ar sail amserlen y cytunir arni (mae’n bosibl y bydd angen cynnal mwy nag un cyfarfod) a datganiad ‘cytundebau a sicrhawyd’ a/neu ddatganiad ‘cytundeb i anghytuno’ yn dilyn y broses.

cy-gb	Cyfraniad cyrff iechyd at drefniadau osgoi a datrys anghytundebau 

en-gb	32.36. 
cy-gb	32.36 

en-gb	Whilst the child, child’s parent or young person is engaging in the local authorities’ avoiding disagreement arrangements, or resolving disagreement arrangements, the local authority should consider whether it would be beneficial to involve the relevant NHS body in these arrangements.  
cy-gb	Tra bod y plentyn, rhiant y plentyn, neu’r person ifanc yn ymgysylltu â threfniadau osgoi anghytundebau neu drefniadau datrys anghytundebau’r awdurdod lleol, dylai’r  awdurdod lleol ystyried a fyddai’n fanteisiol cynnwys corff perthnasol y GIG yn y trefniadau hyn.

en-gb	This might be where the child, child’s parent or young person raises concerns in relation to health, or ALP which a health body is responsible for. 
cy-gb	  Gall sefyllfa o’r fath godi os yw’r plentyn, rhiant y plentyn, neu’r person ifanc yn mynegi pryderon am iechyd, neu DDdY y mae’r corff iechyd yn gyfrifol amdani. 

en-gb	32.37. 
cy-gb	32.37

en-gb	When a local authority believes it would be beneficial for a NHS body to be involved in avoidance and disagreement resolution arrangements, they should contact the relevant DECLO to seek their advice.  
cy-gb	 Os yw awdurdod lleol yn credu y byddai’n fanteisiol cynnwys un o gyrff y GIG mewn trefniadau osgoi a datrys anghytundebau, dylai gysylltu â’r Swyddog Arweiniol Clinigol Dynodedig Addysg (SACDA) i ofyn am ei gyngor.  

en-gb	This should form part of the DECLO’s role (see Chapter 9). 
cy-gb	Dylai  hyn fod yn rhan o waith y SACDA (gweler Pennod 9). 

en-gb	32.38. 
cy-gb	32.38 

en-gb	The DECLO should consider whether the involvement of NHS bodies in the arrangements can help to resolve disagreements and take part in the arrangements where they believe this to be the case. 
cy-gb	Dylai’r SACDA ystyried a fyddai cyfraniad cyrff y GIG at y trefniadau yn gallu helpu i ddatrys anghytundebau, ac os felly a ddylent gymryd rhan yn y trefniadau. 

en-gb	32.39. 
cy-gb	32.39 

en-gb	As well as using the local authorities’ avoidance of disagreement arrangements and disagreement resolution arrangements, where there is a concern about the involvement of health or the provision provided by NHS bodies, then the child, child’s parent or young person should be encouraged to discuss their concern with the health provider.  
cy-gb	Yn ogystal â defnyddio trefniadau osgoi a datrys anghytundebau awdurdodau lleol, os oes pryder ynglŷn â chyfraniad ym maes iechyd neu ddarpariaeth cyrff y GIG, dylid  annog y plentyn, rhiant y plentyn, neu’r person ifanc i drafod eu pryder â’r darparwr iechyd.

en-gb	The Welsh Government has put in place arrangements for the management of concerns and complaints relating to the NHS in Wales: 
cy-gb	 Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cyflwyno trefniadau ar gyfer rheoli pryderon a chwynion yn ymwneud â’r GIG yng Nghymru: 

en-gb	Putting Things Right.
cy-gb	Gweithio i Wella.

en-gb	Putting Things Right is based upon an integrated approach, bringing together the management of complaints, incidents and claims and is based upon the principle ‘investigate once, investigate well.’ 
cy-gb	Mae Gweithio i Wella yn seiliedig ar ddull integredig, gan ddwyn ynghyd y broses o reoli cwynion, digwyddiadau a hawliadau ar sail yr egwyddor ‘ymchwiliwch unwaith, ymchwiliwch yn fanwl’. 

en-gb	 Information on Putting Things Right can be found at:

cy-gb	32.41 

en-gb	Where it becomes apparent to the local authority that the concern, disagreement or complaint relates to health, whether it relates to an assessment, treatment or service provided by the NHS, or any other concern, then the local authority should  refer the child, child’s parent or young person to Putting Things Right.  
cy-gb	Os yw’r awdurdod lleol yn dod i ddeall bod y pryder, yr anghytundeb neu’r gŵyn yn ymwneud â’r maes iechyd, boed yn asesiad, yn driniaeth neu’n wasanaeth a ddarparwyd gan y GIG, neu unrhyw bryder arall, dylai’r  awdurdod lleol atgyfeirio’r plentyn, rhiant y plentyn, neu’r person ifanc at Gweithio i Wella.  

en-gb	32.42. 
cy-gb	32.42 

en-gb	In certain circumstances, both the arrangements made by the local authority to resolve disagreements and the Putting Things Right process may be followed.  
cy-gb	Mewn amgylchiadau penodol, gellir mynd ati i ddefnyddio trefniadau’r awdurdod lleol ar gyfer datrys anghytundebau a’r broses Gweithio i Wella. 

en-gb	The local authority and DECLO should  work together to make arrangements to attempt resolution.  
cy-gb	Dylai’r  awdurdod lleol a’r SACDA weithio gyda’i gilydd i wneud trefniadau i geisio datrys y mater.  

en-gb	Where advocacy or support for the child, young person or family member is required, this is often more effective when undertaken by a single individual. 
cy-gb	Os oes angen gwasanaeth eirioli neu gymorth ar gyfer y plentyn, y person ifanc neu aelod o’r teulu, mae’n aml yn fwy effeithiol pan fydd un unigolyn yn gyfrifol am hynny. 

en-gb	Interrelationship with the Tribunal 
cy-gb	Cydberthynas â’r Tribiwnlys 

en-gb	32.43. 
cy-gb	32.43

en-gb	Using disagreement resolution arrangements, or deciding not to use them, do not affect the rights to appeal to the Tribunal.  
cy-gb	 Nid yw penderfyniad i ddefnyddio trefniadau datrys anghytundebau, neu i beidio â’u defnyddio, yn effeithio ar hawliau i apelio i’r Tribiwnlys.  

en-gb	No inference may be drawn by the Tribunal if the child, child’s parent or young person has not used the disagreement resolution arrangements prior to lodging an appeal.  
cy-gb	Ni chaiff y Tribiwnlys ddod i unrhyw gasgliad os nad yw plentyn, rhiant plentyn, neu berson ifanc wedi defnyddio’r trefniadau datrys anghytundebau cyn cyflwyno apêl.  

en-gb	If a child, child’s parent or young person decides to use disagreement resolution arrangements before the end of the limitation period for bringing an appeal, the time limit for bringing an appeal is extended by 8 weeks to allow for the attempted resolution. 26   At any point after an appeal has been issued (including at the very early stages), any party to the proceedings may 27  apply for a stay to consider alternative dispute resolution.  
cy-gb	Os bydd plentyn, rhiant plentyn neu berson ifanc yn penderfynu defnyddio trefniadau datrys anghytundebau cyn diwedd cyfnod y cyfyngiad ar gyfer gwneud apêl, estynnir y cyfyngiad amser ar gyfer gwneud apêl gan 8 wythnos i geisio datrys unrhyw anghytundeb. 26   Ar unrhyw adeg ar ôl cychwyn apêl (gan gynnwys yn ystod y camau cynnar iawn), caiff 27  unrhyw barti sy’n rhan o’r achos wneud cais am ei atal er mwyn ystyried dull arall o ddatrys yr anghydfod.  

en-gb	32.44. 
cy-gb	32.44 

en-gb	Disagreement resolution meetings are confidential and without prejudice to the Tribunal process.  
cy-gb	Mae cyfarfodydd datrys anghytundebau yn gyfrinachol ac nid ydynt yn ymrwymo proses y Tribiwnlys.  

en-gb	The Tribunal may cover similar ground to that explored through the disagreement resolution arrangement but will reach its own independent findings and conclusions.  
cy-gb	Gall y Tribiwnlys drafod materion tebyg i’r hyn a drafodwyd trwy’r trefniant datrys anghytundeb, ond bydd yn dod i ganfyddiadau a chasgliadau annibynnol.  

en-gb	Partial agreement achieved by using such arrangements can help to focus on the remaining areas of disagreement in any subsequent appeal to the Tribunal. 
cy-gb	Gall cytundeb rhannol sy’n deillio o ddefnyddio trefniadau o’r fath helpu i ganolbwyntio ar y meysydd anghytundeb sy’n weddill mewn unrhyw apêl ddilynol i’r Tribiwnlys. 

en-gb	Other means of challenge  
cy-gb	Dulliau eraill o herio  

en-gb	32.45. 
cy-gb	32.45

en-gb	In addition to appeals to the Education Tribunal for Wales, there are several other means by which learners and their families can challenge a public body if they feel that that body has failed to carry out their public duties, including those duties made under the Act.
cy-gb	 Yn ogystal ag apelio i Dribiwnlys Addysg Cymru, gall dysgwyr a’u teuluoedd ddefnyddio sawl dull arall o herio corff cyhoeddus os ydynt yn teimlo bod y corff wedi methu â chyflawni ei ddyletswyddau cyhoeddus, gan gynnwys y dyletswyddau o dan y Ddeddf.

en-gb	For example, a looked after child may also have ALN, and would therefore be entailed to an advocate under the ALN system and under the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, which imposes duties on local authorities to provide advocacy services for a looked after child or a child in need.  
cy-gb	 Er enghraifft, mae’n bosibl bod ADY hefyd gan blentyn sy’n derbyn gofal, ac felly byddai ganddo hawl i eiriolwr o dan y system ADY ac o dan Ddeddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014, sy’n rhoi dyletswyddau ar awdurdodau lleol i ddarparu gwasanaethau eirioli ar gyfer plentyn sy’n derbyn gofal neu blentyn mewn angen.  

en-gb	Where this happens, the local authority should ensure that the advocate is suitably qualified to provide advocacy and understand both systems they are providing advocacy on.  
cy-gb	Mewn sefyllfa o’r fath, dylai’r  awdurdod lleol sicrhau bod yr eiriolwr yn gymwys i ddarparu gwasanaeth eirioli, a’i fod yn deall y ddwy system sy’n destun ei eiriolaeth.

en-gb	In most cases, a child will use a close family member or an adult they know and trust to be their case friend.  
cy-gb	 Yn y rhan fwyaf o achosion, bydd plentyn yn dewis aelod agos o’r teulu neu oedolyn y mae’n ei adnabod ac yn ymddiried ynddo i fod yn gyfaill achos.  

en-gb	However, there may be circumstances when a child requires a case friend but may not have someone they know to ask to act as their case friend.   
cy-gb	Fodd bynnag, mewn rhai amgylchiadau, mae’n bosibl bod angen cyfaill achos ar blentyn, ond nad yw’n adnabod neb priodol i weithredu fel cyfaill achos.

en-gb	Introduction 
cy-gb	Cyflwyniad 

en-gb	33.1.  
cy-gb	33.1 

en-gb	The Education Tribunal is independent of government, local authorities, schools and FEIs; and its decisions are legally binding.  
cy-gb	 Mae’r Tribiwnlys Addysg yn annibynnol ar lywodraeth, awdurdodau lleol, ysgolion a sefydliadau addysg bellach; ac mae ei benderfyniadau yn rhwymo mewn cyfraith.  

en-gb	The Tribunal hears and decides appeals and applications in relation to children and young people who have or may have ALN.  
cy-gb	Mae’r Tribiwnlys yn gwrando ac yn penderfynu ar apeliadau a cheisiadau sy’n ymwneud â phlant a phobl ifanc sydd ag ADY neu a allai fod ag ADY.  

en-gb	Specifically, it hears and decides appeals about the decisions of an FEI or a local authority in Wales . 
cy-gb	Yn benodol, mae’n gwrando ac yn penderfynu ar apeliadau ynghylch penderfyniadau sefydliad addysg bellach neu awdurdod lleol yng Nghymru.

en-gb	 The Education Tribunal also hears claims in relation to disability discrimination; however this Code focuses solely on Appeals relating to ALN.  
cy-gb	 Mae’r Tribiwnlys Addysg hefyd yn gwrando ar hawliadau mewn perthynas â gwahaniaethu ar sail anabledd; fodd bynnag, mae’r Cod hwn yn canolbwyntio’n llwyr ar Apeliadau sy’n ymwneud ag ADY. 

en-gb	33.2.  
cy-gb	33.2

en-gb	The Education Tribunal for Wales Regulations, made under the Act , set out the procedures to be followed in proceedings before the Tribunal, including the initiation of an appeal. 
cy-gb	  Mae Rheoliadau Tribiwnlys Addysg Cymru, a wnaed o dan y Ddeddf 2 , yn amlinellu’r gweithdrefnau sydd i’w dilyn mewn achosion gerbron y Tribiwnlys gan gynnwys y broses o gychwyn apêl.   

en-gb	 Made under the Act at Sections 74(1), 75(1), 75(2), 75(4), 76(3), 77, 91(6) and 92(2).  
cy-gb	2  Gwnaed o dan y Ddeddf yn adrannau 74(1), 75(1), 75(2), 75(4), 76(3), 77, 91(6) a 92(2). 

en-gb	3  See for example Chapter 32 paragraphs 32.50 – 32.60.

en-gb	The Education Tribunal provides on its website advice and guidance on the appeal process and the procedures to be followed.   
cy-gb	 Mae’r Tribiwnlys Addysg yn rhoi cyngor a chyfarwyddyd ar ei wefan ynghylch y broses apelio a’r gweithdrefnau i’w dilyn.   

en-gb	33.4.  
cy-gb	33.4 

en-gb	There are other means by which children, their parents and young people can challenge a public body if they feel that that body has failed to carry out their public duties, including those duties under the Act.  
cy-gb	 Ceir dulliau eraill y gall plant, eu rhieni a phobl ifanc eu defnyddio i herio corff cyhoeddus os ydynt yn teimlo nad yw’r corff wedi cyflawni ei ddyletswyddau cyhoeddus, gan gynnwys y dyletswyddau hynny o dan y Ddeddf.  

en-gb	For example Local Authorities have a duty to make arrangements for avoiding and resolving disagreements between parties to hopefully avoid the need to take cases to the Tribunal. 3  
cy-gb	Er enghraifft, mae gan Awdurdodau Lleol ddyletswydd i wneud trefniadau ar gyfer osgoi a datrys anghytundebau rhwng partïon yn y gobaith o osgoi’r angen i fynd ag achosion gerbron y Tribiwnlys. 3
