11. BETH SYDD WEDI GWEITHIO? / WHAT HAS WORKED ?
• Ar lefel y rhaglen...
• Rydym yn dal i ddysgu oddi wrth y
gwerthusiadau parhaus ar ein
rhaglenni presennol.
• Gwerthusiad o'n Strategaeth Tlodi
Plant a gyhoeddwyd yn 2014:
gefnogol i'r dull a ddefnyddir yng
Nghymru - yn enwedig o ran y ffocws
ar y blynyddoedd cynnar a
chyrhaeddiad addysgol.
• Ffocws ar atal yn parhau, ond mae
angen polisïau a rhaglenni i gefnogi
teuluoedd “yma ac yn awr“.
• At a programme level…
• We are still learning from the ongoing
evaluations of our existing
programmes.
• Evaluation of our Child Poverty
Strategy published in 2014:
supportive of the approach being
taken in Wales – particularly in terms
of the focus on early years and
educational attainment.
• Focus on prevention should remain,
but policies and programmes to
support families “here and now” are
also needed.

12. THEMÂU ALLWEDDOL YN SYMYD YMLAEN / KEY THEMES MOVING FORWARDS
• Mae cydweithredu a dulliau
amlddisgyblaethol yn hanfodol
• Cysoni rhaglenni presennol yn
angenrheidiol
• Gwneud y defnydd gorau o'r holl
adnoddau sydd ar gael (gan
gynnwys arian yr UE)
• Gwasanaethau hyblyg, sy'n
ymateb i'r person o'u blaenau
• Mae llawer mwy i'w wneud...
• Collaboration and multi-
disciplinary approaches are vital
• Aligning existing programmes is a
necessity
• Make the best use of all resources
available to us (including EU
Funding)
• Flexible services, which respond to
the person in front of them
• There is much more to do…
