Principles and values of health and social care (adults) Egwyddorion a gwerthoedd iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol (oedolion)
Legislation, national policies and Code of Conduct and Practice Deddfwriaeth, polisïau cenedlaethol a Chodau Ymddygiad ac Ymarfer

Several key principles underpin health and social care services in Wales. These are:

• The individual is at the centre of everything we do.
• Services should be designed around their individual needs.
• Professionals should work together with the individual to meet their needs.
• The well-being and protection of the individual is paramount.
• Services must always promote diversity, independence, choice, empowerment, identity and safety.

Mae nifer o egwyddorion allweddol yn ategu gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru. Y rhain yw:

• Mae'r unigolyn wrth wraidd popeth a wnawn.
• Dylai gwasanaethau gael eu dylunio yn seiliedig ar ei anghenion unigol.
• Dylai gweithwyr proffesiynol gydweithio â'r unigolyn er mwyn diwallu ei anghenion.
• Mae llesiant a diogelwch yr unigolyn yn hollbwysig.
• Mae'n rhaid i wasanaethau hybu amrywiaeth, annibyniaeth, dewis, hunaniaeth a diogelwch a grymuso'r unigolyn bob amser.

• Legislation and Codes of Practice have been developed to ensure these principles underpin the way services are designed and delivered.
• This legislation and the Codes tell workers how they should support individuals and how services should be planned, and they should underpin everything we do.
• There are several pieces of relevant legislation and Codes to be looked at. The key piece of legislation is the Social Services and Well-being Act 2014.

• Mae deddfwriaeth a Chodau Ymarfer wedi cael eu datblygu er mwyn sicrhau bod yr egwyddorion hyn yn ategu'r ffordd y caiff gwasanaethau eu dylunio a'u darparu.
• Mae'r ddeddfwriaeth hon a'r Codau yn dweud wrth weithwyr sut y dylent gefnogi unigolion a sut y dylid cynllunio gwasanaethau a dylent ategu popeth a wnawn.
• Mae sawl darn o ddeddfwriaeth a Chodau perthnasol y byddwn yn eu hastudio. Y ddeddfwriaeth allweddol yw Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant 2014.

The Social Services and Well–Being (Wales) Act 2014 changed the way local authority social services and other care services work together in partnership to help and support individuals.

The Act helps ensure that individuals enjoy well-being in every area of their lives, as much as they choose and are able to. The Act brings together and modernises different pieces of existing social care law.

This new legal framework consists of three elements:

• the Act
• the regulations, which provide greater detail about the requirements of the Act
• the codes of practice, which give practical guidance about how it should be implemented in social care settings.

The Act applies to:

• adults - individuals aged 18 or over
• children - individuals under the age of 18
• carers - adults or children who provide care and support.

The Act is made up of 11 parts, consists of five principles and clearly identifies the individuals the Act affects.

The principles or values of the Act are important as they impact on the way services are provided and how we work with and support individuals.

Newidiodd Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014 y ffordd mae gwasanaethau cymdeithasol a gwasanaethau gofal eraill awdurdodau lleol yn cydweithio mewn partneriaeth i helpu a chefnogi unigolion.

Mae'r Ddeddf yn helpu i sicrhau bod unigolion yn mwynhau llesiant ym mhob rhan o'u bywydau, cymaint ag ydynt yn dewis ac yn gallu gwneud. Mae'r Ddeddf yn dwyn ynghyd ac yn moderneiddio gwahanol ddarnau o gyfraith gofal cymdeithasol presennol.

Mae'r fframwaith cyfreithiol newydd hwn yn cynnwys tair elfen:

• y Ddeddf
• y rheoliadau, sy'n rhoi mwy o fanylion am ofynion y Ddeddf
• y codau ymarfer, sy'n rhoi arweiniad ymarferol ynghylch sut y dylai gael ei rhoi ar waith mewn lleoliadau gofal cymdeithasol.

Mae'r Ddeddf yn gymwys i:

• oedolion – unigolion 18 oed neu drosodd
• plant – unigolion o dan 18 oed
• gofalwyr – oedolion neu blant sy'n darparu gofal a chymorth.

Mae'r Ddeddf mewn 11 rhan, gan gynnwys pum egwyddor, ac mae'n nodi'n glir yr unigolion mae'r Ddeddf yn effeithio arnynt.

Mae egwyddorion neu werthoedd y Ddeddf yn bwysig am eu bod yn effeithio ar y ffordd y darperir gwasanaethau, a sut rydym yn gweithio gydag unigolion ac yn eu cefnogi.

The Act is built on the following core principles:

• Voice and control, which means putting the individual and their needs at the very centre of their care and support so that they have voice and control over the outcomes that will help meet their needs.
• Prevention and early intervention involves encouraging individuals to ask for help or support when they need it, not when it may be too late.
• Well-being identifies how to support individuals to achieve well-being in every aspect of their lives. This involves all of the relevant services working together to support an individual’s health and well-being, for example.
• Co-production is working with individuals, their family, carers and friends to identify and meet their support needs.

Mae'r Ddeddf yn seiliedig ar yr egwyddorion craidd canlynol:

• Llais a rheolaeth, sy'n golygu rhoi'r unigolyn a'i anghenion wrth wraidd ei ofal a'i gymorth, fel bod ganddynt lais a rheolaeth dros y canlyniadau a wnaiff helpu i ddiwallu ei anghenion.
• Ataliad ac ymyrryd yn gynnar sy'n golygu annog unigolion i ofyn am help neu gefnogaeth pan fo angen hynny arnynt, nid pan ei bod yn rhy hwyr efallai.
• Mae llesiant yn nodi sut i helpu unigolion i sicrhau llesiant ym mhob agwedd ar eu bywydau. Mae hyn yn cynnwys yr holl wasanaethau perthnasol yn cydweithio i gefnogi iechyd a llesiant unigolyn, er enghraifft.
• Mae a wnelo cydgynhyrchu â gweithio gydag unigolion, eu teuluoedd, eu gofalwyr a'u ffrindiau i nodi a diwallu eu hanghenion cymorth.

• Individuals have full control when deciding the support they need, and in relation to making decisions about their care and support they are viewed as an equal partner. Individuals can use an independent professional advocate to help them participate fully in the assessment, care and support planning, review and safeguarding processes. Individuals also have a right to an independent professional advocate provided free of charge if they have difficulties in expressing their views, needs, wishes and preferences.
• As a carer, this impacts on your role as care must now be personalised to the individual through collaboration with them, which may involve support for them from an advocate.
• An advocate offers independent support to individuals who might not be heard, to ensure they are taken seriously and that their rights are respected. Advocates also help individuals to access and understand appropriate information and services.

• Caiff unigolion reolaeth lawn wrth benderfynu ar y cymorth sydd ei angen arnynt, ac wrth wneud penderfyniadau am eu gofal a'u cymorth fe'u hystyrir yn bartner cyfartal. Gall unigolion ddefnyddio eiriolwr proffesiynol annibynnol i'w helpu i chwarae rhan lawn yn y prosesau asesu, cynllunio gofal a chymorth, adolygu a diogelu. Hefyd, caiff unigolion ddefnyddio eiriolwr proffesiynol annibynnol am ddim os ydynt yn ei chael hi'n anodd mynegi barn, anghenion, dymuniadau a dewisiadau.
• Fel gofalwr, mae hyn yn effeithio ar eich rôl am fod angen i ofal gael ei deilwra i'r unigolyn bellach, drwy gydweithio ag ef, a all olygu cael cymorth eiriolwr.
• Mae eiriolwr yn cynnig cymorth annibynnol i unigolion na chânt eu clywed efallai, er mwyn sicrhau eu bod yn cael eu cymryd o ddifrif a bod eu hawliau yn cael eu parchu. Mae eiriolwyr hefyd yn helpu unigolion i gael gwybodaeth a gwasanaethau priodol, a'u deall.

Ei roi ar waith - Y Ddeddf a'ch rôl chi

Rydych newydd ddechrau gweithio yn y sector iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol. Eglurwch brif bwyntiau Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014 fel petaech yn dweud wrth unigolyn rydych yn ei gynorthwyo.

There are also numerous other pieces of legislation which are underpinned by the key principles and values mentioned earlier:

• The Human Rights Act 1998 sets out the fundamental rights and freedoms that everyone in the UK is entitled to. The Act incorporates the rights set out in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into domestic British law.
• The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is an international legal agreement, which exists to protect and promote the human rights of disabled individuals.
• The UN Principles for Older Persons 1991 consists of 18 principles, which can be grouped under five themes: independence, participation, care, self-fulfilment and dignity. Governments were encouraged to incorporate them into their national programmes whenever possible.
• Declaration of rights of older people in Wales (2014) sets out the rights of older individuals in Wales.
• The Mental Health Act (1989), Code of Practice for Wales (2008) and the Mental Health (Wales) Measure (2010) place legal duties on local health boards and local authorities about the assessment and treatment of mental health problems and ensures an individual’s rights are upheld throughout access to services.
• The Mental Capacity Act 2005 and associated Code of Practice are designed to protect and give back power to vulnerable individuals who may lack capacity to make certain decisions, because of the way their mental health is affected by illness or disability, or the effects of drugs or alcohol.

Mae llawer o ddarnau eraill o ddeddfwriaeth a gaiff eu hategu gan yr egwyddorion a'r gwerthoedd y soniwyd amdanynt yn gynharach hefyd:

• Mae Deddf Hawliau Dynol 1998 yn nodi'r hawliau a'r rhyddid sylfaenol y dylai pawb yn y DU fod yn eu cael. Mae'r Ddeddf yn ymgorffori'r hawliau a nodir yn y Confensiwn Ewropeaidd ar Hawliau Dynol yng nghyfraith ddomestig Prydain.
• Mae Confensiwn y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar Hawliau Pobl ag Anableddau yn gytundeb cyfreithiol rhyngwladol, sy'n bodoli i ddiogelu a hyrwyddo hawliau dynol unigolion anabl.
• Mae Egwyddorion y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar gyfer Pobl Hŷn 1991 yn cynnwys 18 o egwyddorion, a all gael eu grwpio'n bum thema: annibyniaeth, cyfranogiad, gofal, hunanfoddhad ac urddas. Anogwyd llywodraethau i'w cynnwys yn eu rhaglenni cenedlaethol lle bynnag y bo modd.
• Mae'r datganiad o hawliau pobl hŷn yng Nghymru (2014) yn amlinellu hawliau unigolion hŷn yng Nghymru.
• Mae'r Ddeddf Iechyd Meddwl (1989), Cod Ymarfer Cymru (2008) a'r Mesur Iechyd Meddwl (Cymru) (2010) yn gosod dyletswyddau cyfreithiol ar fyrddau iechyd lleol ac awdurdodau lleol mewn perthynas ag asesu a thrin problemau iechyd meddwl, ac maent yn sicrhau bod hawliau unigolion yn cael eu cynnal wrth iddynt ddefnyddio gwasanaethau.
• Mae Deddf Galluedd Meddyliol 2005 a'r Cod Ymarfer cysylltiedig wedi'u cynllunio i ddiogelu ac ail-rymuso oedolion agored i niwed nad oes ganddynt alluedd efallai i wneud rhai penderfyniadau, oherwydd y ffordd mae salwch neu anabledd, neu effeithiau cyffuriau neu alcohol, yn effeithio ar eu hiechyd meddwl.

• Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) are an amendment to the Mental Capacity Act 2005. They apply in England and Wales only. DoLS can only be used if the individual will be deprived of their liberty, or freedom and rights, in a care home or hospital. In other settings the Court of Protection can authorise a deprivation of liberty. Care homes or hospitals must ask a local authority if they can deprive an individual of their liberty and there are six assessments which have to be carried out before a standard authorisation can be given.
• Welsh Language Act 1993; Welsh Language measure (2011) and Mwy na Geriau give the Welsh Language official status in Wales, introduce standards to explain how organisations are expected to use the Welsh Language, increase the use of the Welsh language and make it easier for individuals to use it in their everyday lives.
• The Welsh Government Strategic Framework for the Welsh Language in Health and Social Care (2013) is the Welsh Government’s commitment to strengthen Welsh language services to individuals accessing health and social care, and their families.

• Mae Trefniadau Diogelu wrth Amddifadu o Ryddid (DoLS) yn ddiwygiad i Ddeddf Galluedd Meddyliol 2005. Maent ond yn gymwys yng Nghymru a Lloegr. Dim ond os bydd yr unigolyn yn cael ei amddifadu o'i ryddid, neu ei hawliau, mewn cartref gofal neu ysbyty y defnyddir DoLS. Mewn lleoliadau eraill gall y Llys Amddiffyn awdurdodi amddifadedd o ryddid. Rhaid i gartrefi gofal neu ysbytai ofyn i awdurdod lleol a gânt amddifadu unigolyn o'i ryddid ac mae chwe asesiad y mae'n rhaid eu cynnal cyn y gellir rhoi awdurdodiad safonol.
• Mae Deddf yr Iaith Gymraeg 1993, Mesur y Gymraeg (2011) a Mwy na Geiriau yn rhoi statws swyddogol i'r Gymraeg yng Nghymru, gan gyflwyno safonau i egluro sut y disgwylir i sefydliadau ddefnyddio'r Gymraeg, cynyddu'r defnydd o'r Gymraeg a'i gwneud yn haws i bobl ei defnyddio yn eu bywydau beunyddiol.
• Fframwaith Strategol Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer y Gymraeg mewn Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (2013) yw ymrwymiad Llywodraeth Cymru i wella gwasanaethau Cymraeg i unigolion sy'n defnyddio gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, a'u teuluoedd.

• Identify the rights the Act supports and promotes.
• Write a short summary of how the Act does this.

• Nodwch yr hawliau mae'r Ddeddf yn eu cefnogi ac yn eu hyrwyddo.
• Ysgrifennwch grynodeb byr o'r ffordd mae'r Ddeddf yn gwneud hyn.

Putting it into practice

It is important that timely advice and assistance is provided to individuals to prevent their situation from getting worse. Stepping in early to help individuals is crucial as it can reduce or delay the need for longer term care and support.

Sean is 84 years old and lives on his own in a very rural part of Wales. His wife died 27 years ago, and his daughter lives in Scotland. Sean has started to develop sight and hearing loss, so now needs help with all aspects of daily living.

Ei roi ar waith

Mae'n bwysig sicrhau bod cyngor a chymorth amserol ar gael i unigolion er mwyn atal pethau rhag mynd o ddrwg i waeth. Mae cynnig help ar gam cynnar yn hanfodol oherwydd gall leihau neu oedi'r angen am ofal a chymorth tymor hwy.

Mae Siôn yn 84 oed ac yn byw ar ei ben ei hun yng nghefn gwlad Cymru. Bu farw ei wraig 27 mlynedd yn ôl ac mae ei ferch yn byw yn yr Alban. Mae Siôn wedi dechrau colli ei olwg a'i glyw, felly mae angen iddo gael help gyda phob agwedd ar fywyd beunyddiol erbyn hyn.

Individuals have full control when deciding the support they need, and in relation to making decisions about their care and support they are viewed as an equal partner. Individuals can use an independent professional advocate to help them participate fully in the assessment, care and support planning, review and safeguarding processes. Individuals also have a right to an independent professional advocate provided free of charge if they have difficulties in expressing their views, needs, wishes and preferences.

As a worker, this impacts on your role as care and support must now be personalised to the individual through collaboration with them, which may involve support for them from an advocate.

An advocate offers independent support to individuals who might not be heard, to ensure they are taken seriously and that their rights are respected. Advocates also help individuals to access and understand appropriate information and services.

Fel gweithiwr, mae hyn yn effeithio ar eich rôl yn unol a gofal ac mae’n rhaid i gymorth gael ei deilwra i'r unigolyn drwy gydweithio â nhw, a all olygu cael cymorth eiriolwr.

Mae eiriolwr yn cynnig cymorth annibynnol i unigolion na chânt eu clywed efallai, er mwyn sicrhau eu bod yn cael eu cymryd o ddifrif a bod eu hawliau yn cael eu parchu. Mae eiriolwyr hefyd yn helpu unigolion i gael gwybodaeth a gwasanaethau priodol, a'u deall.

In Wales, the Code of Practice for Social Care Employers (Employers’ Code) sets the standards for employers. Practice guidance gives registered workers guidance related to their role. Other codes include the NHS Wales Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers in Wales, and the Code of Practice for NHS Wales Employers and practice guidance such as the Practice Guidance for Residential Child Care for Workers Registered with the Social Care Wales.

• These codes consist of a list of statements describing the standards of professional conduct and practice necessary for employees in health and social care professions in Wales.
• The Codes play a key part in raising awareness of these standards. They are intended to be a guide for workers, individuals accessing services and managers of services.
• In relation to individuals receiving care, the Codes will make the individuals aware of how care workers should behave towards them, and also the role of employers in supporting care workers to do their jobs well.
• Employers of care workers are expected to promote the use of the Codes and take account of them in making any decisions about the conduct and practice of staff.

• Mae’r cod yn cynnwys rhestr o ddatganiadau sy’n disgrifio’r safonau ymddygiad ac ymarfer proffesiynol sydd eu hangen ar gyflogeion yn y proffesiwn gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru.
• Mae’r cod yn chwarae rhan allweddol wrth godi ymwybyddiaeth o’r safonau hyn. Bwriedir iddo roi canllaw i weithwyr, unigolion sy’n defnyddio gwasanaethau a rheolwyr gwasanaethau.
• O ran unigolion sy’n derbyn gofal, bydd y Cod yn gwneud yr unigolion yn ymwybodol o sut y dylai gweithwyr gofal cymdeithasol ymddwyn tuag atynt, ynghyd â rôl cyflogwyr wrth helpu gweithwyr gofal cymdeithasol i wneud eu gwaith yn dda.
• Disgwylir i gyflogwyr gweithwyr gofal cymdeithasol hyrwyddo’r defnydd o’r Cod a’i ystyried wrth wneud unrhyw benderfyniadau am ymddygiad ac ymarfer staff.

The NHS Wales Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers in Wales describes what is expected from Healthcare Support Workers employed by NHS Wales in relation to the standards of conduct, behaviour and attitude expected when they are at work. The Code applies to all Healthcare Support Workers employed in clinical and non-clinical environments within the NHS and will be used to reference job descriptions.

The Code provides confidence and reassurance through a framework for public protection incorporating the provision of guidance and support to Healthcare Support Workers about their practice to ensure they understand what standards of conduct employers, colleagues, service users and the public expect them to follow.

The Code sets out standards, so Healthcare Support Workers can be sure what standards they are expected to meet. Healthcare Support Workers should use the Code to assure themselves they are working to the standard and if not then change the way they are working.

Healthcare Support Workers can use the Code to review their practice and identify possible areas for personal development. The Code supports Healthcare Support Workers to fulfil the requirements of their role, behave in the correct way and follow a duty of care and good practice . This is essential to protect service users, public and others from harm and abuse.

Mae Cod Ymddygiad GIG Cymru i Weithwyr Cynnal Gofal Iechyd yng Nghymru yn disgrifio'r hyn a ddisgwylir gan Weithwyr Cymorth Gofal Iechyd a gyflogir gan GIG Cymru o ran safonau ymddygiad ac agweddau disgwyliedig yn y gwaith. Mae'r Cod yn gymwys i bob Gweithiwr Cymorth Gofal Iechyd a gyflogir mewn amgylcheddau clinigol ac anghlinigol yn y GIG, ac fe'i defnyddir mewn cyfeiriadau disgrifiadau swydd.

Mae'r Cod yn rhoi hyder a thawelwch meddwl drwy fframwaith amddiffyn y cyhoedd sy'n cynnwys darparu cymorth ac arweiniad i Weithwyr Cymorth Gofal Iechyd o ran eu hymarfer er mwyn sicrhau eu bod yn deall pa safonau ymddygiad mae cyflogwyr, cydweithwyr, defnyddwyr gwasanaeth a'r cyhoedd yn disgwyl ganddynt.

Mae'r Cod yn nodi safonau, fel y gall Gweithwyr Cymorth Gofal Iechyd fod yn siŵr pa safonau mae disgwyl iddynt eu cyrraedd. Dylai Gweithwyr Cymorth Gofal Iechyd ddefnyddio'r Cod i roi sicrwydd iddynt eu hunain eu bod yn cyrraedd y safon ac, os nad ydynt, newid eu ffordd o weithio.

Gall Gweithwyr Cymorth Gofal Iechyd ddefnyddio'r Cod i adolygu eu hymarfer a nodi meysydd datblygu personol posibl. Mae'r Cod yn helpu Gweithwyr Cymorth Gofal Iechyd i fodloni gofynion eu rôl, ymddwyn yn briodol a dilyn dyletswydd gofal ac arfer da drwy'r amser. Mae hyn yn hanfodol er mwyn amddiffyn defnyddwyr gwasanaeth, y cyhoedd ac eraill rhag niwed a cham-drin.

The Practice Guidance for Residential Child Care for Workers Registered with Social Care Wales describes what is expected of workers to support a high-quality service in relation to residential child care.

The guidance can also be used by employers to assess whether they have arrangements in place to ensure a professional and safe service is delivered at all times. The guidance covers child-centred care and support, good residential child care practice, safeguarding individuals, health and safety, professional development, learning culture and contributing to the development of others and contributing to the service, including raising concerns. The guidance builds on the ‘Code of Professional Practice for Health and Social Care’, and failure to follow the guidance could put a workers’ registration at risk.

Social care workers are responsible for making sure that they work to the standards in the Codes of Conduct and Professional Practice. Workers must ensure that their conduct and practice meet the standards, and that no action or omission on their part harms the safety or well-being of individuals.

The Codes of Conduct and Professional Practice provide a criteria to guide the workers’ practice and gives clarity about the standards of conduct that they are expected to meet. Workers are encouraged to use this guidance to examine and reflect on their own conduct and practice and to identify areas in which they can improve.

Mae gweithwyr gofal cymdeithasol yn gyfrifol am sicrhau eu bod yn gweithio yn ôl safonau'r Codau Ymddygiad ac Ymarfer Proffesiynol. Rhaid i weithwyr sicrhau bod eu hymddygiad a'u hymarfer yn cyrraedd y safonau, ac nad oes unrhyw weithred na diffyg gweithredu ar eu rhan yn peryglu diogelwch na llesiant unigolion.

Darperir y Codau Ymddygiad ac Ymarfer Proffesiynol feini prawf i lywio ymarfer gweithwyr, a chynnig eglurder ynghylch y safonau ymddygiad mae disgwyl iddynt eu cyrraedd. Anogir gweithwyr i ddefnyddio'r canllawiau hyn i archwilio a myfyrio ar eu hymddygiad a'u hymarfer eu hunain, a nodi meysydd lle gallant wella.
