A wide range of services are available to support the health and well-being of children and their families/carers.
Education services are delivered by Local Authority education departments. Local education authorities must provide a free school place for all children of 'compulsory school age'. They must also provide a school or sixth form college for young people aged 16-19 who choose to continue their studies. Where a child of school age is unable to receive an education in a school, then the local education authority has a duty to provide a suitable education in some other way such as home education.
In most local authorities in Wales children are admitted to school at the beginning of the term after they turn 5 years old. All 3-4 year olds are entitled to attend an early learning setting for free but this is not compulsory.
Every county in Wales has a family information service, which is a free, confidential and impartial service. The service offers information, advice and guidance on the different services available to children, young people and their families. They provide advice and information on child care, children's clubs, toddler groups, leisure and sporting activities, health issues and support for parents.
Housing associations provide quality affordable housing and services to those who need them. Housing associations are usually registered and regulated by the Welsh Government.
Housing services support tenants and address other housing issues that exist in communities. Housing services include:
Local councils provide leisure services for children and their families/carers. The services aim to provide sports and leisure facilities to promote residents' physical well-being and mental health. A wide variety of leisure facilities and services are provided, including indoor and outdoor leisure facilities such as playing fields.
Social services care for vulnerable people, including children in need. They work with other agencies such as the health service and housing service to provide help, care and support for children and their families/carers. Sometimes families request support from social services, or on other occasions they are referred by another service such as the education or health service.
Social services work closely with children, parents, relatives and other carers to find the best solution to every situation. Social services respond immediately where there are serious concerns about a child, trying to keep families together whenever possible.
Social services' social workers work with children and young people, their families and other professionals to keep children safe and healthy. They form relationships with children, young people and their families, finding solutions to their problems by providing guidance, support and direction. Social workers work closely with other organisations such as the police, the local authority, schools and the probation service.
All counties in Wales provide services for young people aged 11-25. Youth services aim to support young people by providing personal and social education that helps them contribute to the development of their communities and society. They provide a range of services, including youth clubs, youth information, sports, various activities and project work in schools. Young people can contact youth services voluntarily which can lead to positive outcomes for them.
Mae ystod eang o wasanaethau ar gael sy’n cefnogi iechyd a llesiant plant a’u teuluoedd/gofalwyr.
Mae gwasanaethau addysg yn cael eu darparu gan adrannau addysg Awdurdodau Lleol. Rhaid i awdurdodau addysg leol ddarparu lle am ddim mewn ysgol i bob plentyn sydd o 'oed ysgol orfodol'. Hefyd mae'n rhaid iddyn nhw ddarparu ysgol neu goleg chweched dosbarth ar gyfer pobl ifanc rhwng 16 ac 19 sy’n dewis astudio ymhellach. Os na fydd plentyn oed ysgol yn gallu derbyn addysg mewn ysgol, yna mae dyletswydd ar yr awdurdod addysg leol i ddarparu addysg addas mewn ffordd arall megis addysg yn y cartref.
Yng Nghymru mae’r rhan fwyaf o awdurdodau lleol yn derbyn plant i’r ysgol ar ddechrau'r tymor y bydd y plentyn yn bump oed. Mae gan bob plentyn tair a phedair blwydd oed hawl i gael mynd i leoliad dysgu cynnar am ddim ond nid yw hyn yn orfodol.
Mae gan bob sir yng Nghymru wasanaethau gwybodaeth i deuluoedd sydd yn wasanaeth am rhad ac am ddim, sy’n gyfrinachol ac yn ddiduedd. Mae’r gwasanaeth yn cynnig gwybodaeth, cyngor ac arweiniad am y gwasanaethau gwahanol sydd ar gael i blant, pobl ifanc a’u teuluoedd. Maent yn cynnig cyngor a gwybodaeth am ofal plant, clybiau plant, grwpiau babanod, gweithgareddau hamdden a chwaraeon, materion iechyd a chefnogaeth i rieni.
Mae cymdeithasau tai yn darparu tai a gwasanaethau fforddiadwy ac o safon i bobl sydd eu hangen. Mae cymdeithasau tai fel arfer wedi’u cofrestru a’u rheoleiddio gan Lywodraeth Cymru.
Mae gwasanaethau tai yn cefnogi tenantiaid ac yn mynd i’r afael â phroblemau tai eraill sy’n bodoli mewn cymunedau. Mae gwasanaethau tai yn cynnwys y canlynol:
Mae cynghorau lleol yn darparu gwasanaethau hamdden i blant a’u teuluoedd/gofalwyr. Nod y gwasanaethau yw darparu cyfleusterau chwaraeon a hamdden er mwyn hyrwyddo lles corfforol a iechyd meddwl y trigolion. Bydd amrywiaeth eang o gyfleusterau a gwasanaethau hamdden yn cael eu darparu, gan gynnwys cyfleusterau hamdden dan do ac awyr agored megis caeau chwarae.
Mae gwasanaethau cymdeithasol yn gofalu am bobl sy’n agored i niwed, gan gynnwys plant mewn angen. Maent yn gweithio gydag asiantaethau eraill megis y gwasanaeth iechyd a’r gwasanaeth tai i ddarparu cymorth, gofal a chefnogaeth i blant a’u teuluoedd/gofalwyr. Weithiau bydd teuluoedd yn gofyn am gefnogaeth gan wasanaethau cymdeithasol, neu dro arall byddant yn cael eu cyfeirio gan wasanaeth arall megis y gwasanaeth addysg neu iechyd.
Bydd gwasanaethau cymdeithasol yn gweithio’n agos gyda phlant, rhieni, perthnasau a gofalwyr eraill er mwyn darganfod yr ateb gorau i bob sefyllfa. Bydd gwasanaethau cymdeithasol yn ymateb yn syth os oes pryderon difrifol am blentyn gan geisio cadw teuluoedd gyda'i gilydd pan mae hynny’n bosib.
Mae gweithwyr cymdeithasol y gwasanaethau cymdeithasol yn gweithio gyda phlant a phobl ifanc, eu teuluoedd a phobl broffesiynol eraill i gadw plant yn ddiogel ac yn iach. Maent yn ffurfio perthynas gyda phlant, pobl ifanc a’u teuluoedd gan ddod o hyd i atebion i'w problemau trwy ddarparu arweiniad, cymorth a chyfeiriad. Bydd gweithiwr cymdeithasol yn gweithio'n agos gyda sefydliadau eraill fel yr heddlu, yr awdurdod lleol, ysgolion a'r gwasanaeth prawf.
Mae pob sir yng Nghymru yn darparu gwasanaethau ar gyfer pobl ifanc rhwng 11 a 25 oed. Pwrpas y gwasanaethau ieuenctid yw cefnogi pobl ifanc gydag addysg bersonol a chymdeithasol sy’n gymorth iddynt gymryd rhan yn natblygiad eu cymunedau a’u cymdeithas. Maent yn darparu amrywiaeth o wasanaethau, gan gynnwys clybiau ieuenctid, gwybodaeth ieuenctid, chwaraeon, gweithgareddau amrywiol a gwaith project mewn ysgolion. Gall pobl ifanc gysylltu â’r gwasanaethau ieuenctid yn wirfoddol sy’n gallu arwain at ganlyniadau positif iddynt.

Allied health professions have a wide range of roles and they work with all age groups. They provide support in a variety of ways, including developing communication skills, improving nutritional status and overcoming visual problems. They work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, people's homes, clinics, GP surgeries and schools.
Allied health professions include:
CAMHS assess and treat children and young people with emotional, behavioural or mental health problems. This can include depression, eating disorders, violent or angry behaviour, low self-esteem, anxiety, obsessions, sleeping problems and self-harm and abuse. CAMHS services include nurses, therapists, psychologists, support workers and social workers, as well as other professionals.
Health centres help patients to manage their health and prevent illness and provide a wide range of services for children and young people and their families/carers, including GPs, speech and language therapists, physiotherapists and midwives. GPs assess, diagnose, treat and manage illness, as well as screening for certain diseases and promoting general health and well-being. They can also arrange hospital admissions and make referrals to other services and specialists.
Child health clinics are run by health visitors and GPs and offer regular health and development reviews to check that babies are developing. Childhood immunisations are administered in baby clinics and parents can discuss any problems relating to their child's development there. Some baby clinics run special groups for parents, for example breastfeeding support groups.
Family planning is planning when to have children and the use of contraception. Family planning clinics advise people on the different kinds of contraception available. Family planning clinics offer services by appointment as well as drop-in services and following the initial appointment there will need to be another meeting to monitor the patient and the method of contraception. Family planning clinics also provide an emergency contraception service.
It is essential that children visit the dentist regularly. A dental check-up allows the dentist to examine the teeth, gums and mouth for signs of disease. Tooth decay and gum disease can be prevented if they are treated at an early stage. Dentists give advice on maintaining oral health, however often there will also be dental hygienists working in a dental practice who play an important part in oral health care. They show patients how to take care of their mouth and help them to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
Hospices help children and young people with a life-limiting condition such as cancer. Palliative care is provided either in the hospice or in the child's home. Hospices can provide different types of therapy for children and their families, for example art and music therapy, as well as providing activities for the child's siblings. Hospices also provide respite care for families while their children are ill.
Hospitals provide a range of services for children and young people and their families both as inpatients and outpatients. Specialist consultants, nurses and healthcare teams offer a wide range of diagnosis, treatment and support facilities. Some hospitals specialise in children's healthcare, for example Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.
Regular eye checks are carried out on newborn babies and young children to identify any sight problems at an early stage. The National Health Service (NHS) offers free eye tests with opticians to children under 16 and young people under 19 who are in full-time education.
Opticians provide and fit glasses and other optical aids. They advise patients on different types of lenses and frames and give advice on how to wear and look after them.
A multidisciplinary team is a group of health and social care professionals who provide a range of coordinated services for children and young people. The team members may vary depending on the needs of the child or young person and the condition or illness being treated. Multidisciplinary teams consist of staff from several different professional backgrounds who have different areas of expertise. Multidisciplinary teams are often discussed in the same context as joint working, inter-agency work and partnership working. Where a care plan has been produced, practitioners from a number of health, social care and early years services may work together in what is called a multidisciplinary team.
Multidisciplinary teams play a key role in ensuring that all aspects of the child or young person's needs are taken into account in order to provide appropriate advice on treatment. They provide services that benefit the individual and ensure better quality care.

They work with parents and other (education and health) professionals to ensure that children and young people's needs are met.
Counsellors can work in schools to provide support for children and young people with emotional problems such as depression, lack of confidence, grief, bullying and anxiety. Counsellors provide children and young people with opportunities to talk and discuss their emotional problems and support them to try and resolve those problems. Children and young people need to be referred to the service, possibly by a teacher, or they can refer themselves.
Education psychologists provide medical and learning support for individuals and groups of children or young people. They conduct observations within the setting and offer a support programme that assists children and young people experiencing problems with education. These difficulties may include behavioural, social or emotional needs.
A health visitor is a qualified nurse who has taken further qualifications and has experience of midwifery. Health visitors ensure that families receive the best possible support to meet their children's needs. They mostly work in the community, with children up to 5 years old, and their families. Ensuring that children have the best possible start in life is an important part of the health visitor's work. In partnership with parents, a health visitor assesses the parenting skills, the family and home environment and considers the young person's developmental needs. Health visitors work alongside school nurses, doctors, social workers and other health professionals.
When children or young people and their families need to access health, social care and early years services they need to arrange to meet with the appropriate practitioners. This is called accessing services. There are three different ways to access services:
The following factors prevent individuals accessing health, social care and early years services. One of the main reasons for not using the services is lack of information about them.
If the information (signs, leaflets, posters) about health, social care and early years services is in English and Welsh only, then those with a different first language will not find out about the service. If the information uses language that is too specialist or technical, people may not understand it and therefore will be anxious about using the service.
Accessing services can be expensive particularly if the service the individual is trying to access is far away and they cannot afford the transport costs to get there. Sometimes lack of public funding may mean that the services cannot be provided, or that patients have to wait a considerable amount of time before receiving them.
Things can be difficult for individuals living far from locations offering health, social care and early years services. The bus services in the locality may not run at a convenient time to attend appointments. Specialist services may be many miles away, which makes things worse. Walking difficulties are also a barrier for some people.
This means the barriers that prevent individuals gaining access to a building. This could be a wheelchair user being unable to enter a building because of risks or narrow doors or a parent experiencing difficulties because they have a pram or a double buggy.
Psychological barriers arise from the way an individual thinks or feels about a service, and an example of this is the fear many feel when visiting the dentist. Pride may cause some people to worry about the stigma of using services such as mental health charities or services. An individual who feels ill may be so concerned about finding out what's wrong that they do not seek help from a GP.
Health, social care and early years services may not be available due to staff shortages or lack of money for the service. If there is high demand for a service, then it may be necessary to wait until there are sufficient funds to pay for the service for all those who require it. High demand for vaccination against disease at particular times may mean that there is not enough vaccine available for all those who need it.

Mae cwnselwyr yn rhoi cyfleoedd i blant a phobl ifanc siarad a thrafod eu problemau emosiynol ac yn eu cefnogi er mwyn ceisio eu datrys. Mae angen i blant neu bobl ifanc gael eu cyfeirio at y gwasanaeth, efallai gan athro neu athrawes, neu gallant gyfeirio eu hunain.
Mae seicolegwyr addysg yn darparu cymorth meddygol a dysgu ar gyfer unigolion a grwpiau o blant neu bobl ifanc. Maent yn cynnal arsylwadau o fewn y lleoliad ac yn cynnig rhaglen cefnogaeth sy’n helpu plant neu bobl ifanc sy'n cael anawsterau gydag addysg. Gallai'r anawsterau hyn gynnwys anghenion ymddygiadol, cymdeithasol neu emosiynol.
Nyrsys cymwysedig sydd wedi astudio ymhellach a gyda phrofiad o fydwreigiaeth yw ymwelwyr iechyd. Mae ymwelwyr iechyd yn sicrhau bod teuluoedd yn cael y gefnogaeth gorau posib er mwyn cwrdd ag anghenion eu plant. Maent yn gweithio yn y gymuned gan amlaf, gyda phlant hyd at 5 oed, a’u teuluoedd. Rhan bwysig o waith ymwelydd iechyd yw sicrhau bod plant yn cael y dechrau gorau mewn bywyd. Mewn partneriaeth â rhieni, bydd ymwelydd iechyd yn asesu’r sgiliau rhianta, y teulu a’r sefyllfa gartref ac yn ystyried anghenion datblygiad y plant ifanc. Mae ymwelwyr iechyd yn gweithio ar y cyd gyda nyrsys ysgol, doctoriaid, gweithwyr cymdeithasol a gweithwyr iechyd proffesiynol eraill.
Pan fydd plant neu bobl ifanc a’u teuluoedd angen defnyddio gwasanaethau iechyd, gofal cymdeithasol a blynyddoedd cynnar mae angen iddynt drefnu i gwrdd â’r ymarferwyr priodol. Gelwir hyn yn cael mynediad at wasanaethau. Mae tair ffordd wahanol o gael mynediad at wasanaethau:
Dyma'r ffactorau sy'n atal unigolyn rhag cael mynediad at wasanaethau iechyd, gofal cymdeithasol a blynyddoedd cynnar. Rheswm mawr am beidio defnyddio’r gwasanaethau yw diffyg gwybodaeth amdanynt ond mae rhwystrau eraill hefyd yn bodoli.
Os yw'r wybodaeth (arwyddion, taflenni, posteri) am wasanaethau iechyd, gofal cymdeithasol a blynyddoedd cynnar yn Gymraeg a Saesneg yn unig, yna ni fydd rhai sydd ag iaith gyntaf wahanol yn dod i wybod am y gwasanaeth. Os yw'r wybodaeth yn defnyddio iaith sydd yn rhy arbenigol neu dechnegol efallai na fydd pobl yn ei ddeall ac felly yn bryderus ynglŷn â defnyddio’r gwasanaeth.
Gall mynediad at wasanaethau gostio’n ddrud yn enwedig os yw’r gwasanaeth y mae'r unigolyn yn ceisio cael mynediad iddo yn bell i ffwrdd ac nad oes modd talu am y cludiant i gyrraedd yno. Weithiau gall diffyg arian cyhoeddus olygu nad yw’n bosib darparu’r gwasanaethau, neu bydd angen disgwyl cryn amser cyn eu derbyn.
Gall bethau fod yn anodd i unigolion sy’n byw yn bell o leoliadau sy’n cynnig gwasanaethau iechyd, gofal cymdeithasol a blynyddoedd cynnar. Efallai nad yw’r gwasanaeth bysiau yn yr ardal yn rhedeg ar amser cyfleus i gyrraedd apwyntiadau. Gall wasanaethau arbenigol fod llawer o filltiroedd i ffwrdd sy’n gwneud pethau’n waeth. Mae anawsterau cerdded hefyd yn rhwystr i rai pobl.
Mae hyn yn golygu'r rhwystrau sy’n atal unigolyn rhag cael mynediad i adeilad. Gall hyn fod yn ddefnyddiwr cadair olwyn sy’n cael ei rwystro gan risiau neu ddrysau cul neu riant sy’n cael anawsterau am fod ganddynt bram, neu fygi dwbl.
Mae rhwystrau seicolegol yn deillio o’r ffordd y mae unigolyn yn meddwl neu deimlo am wasanaeth, ac enghraifft o hyn yw’r ofn sydd gan lawer wrth ymweld â’r deintydd. Gall balchder rhai pobl achosi iddynt boeni am y stigma o ddefnyddio gwasanaethau megis elusennau neu wasanaeth iechyd meddwl. Gall unigolyn sy’n teimlo'n sâl, fod yn poeni gymaint am ddarganfod beth sydd o’i le fel na fydd yn ceisio cymorth gan feddyg teulu.
Efallai na fydd y gwasanaethau iechyd, gofal cymdeithasol a blynyddoedd cynnar ar gael oherwydd prinder staff neu ddiffyg arian ar gyfer y gwasanaeth. Os oes galw mawr am wasanaeth yna efallai bydd rhaid aros nes bod digon o arian i dalu am y gwasanaeth ar gyfer pawb sydd ei angen. Hefyd gall alw mawr am frechiad yn erbyn clefyd ar adeg arbennig olygu nad oes digon o frechlyn ar gael i bawb sydd ei angen.
