Trefnydd: Mrs Gwenan Prysor

Mae'r modiwl hwn yn anelu i gyflawni tair amcan sylfaenol, sef darparu dealltwriaeth sylfaenol mewn cyfraith gwaith cymdeithasol, cyflwyno myfyrwyr i'r fethodoleg a'r goblygiadau sydd i ymyrraeth gyfreithiol, ac i ddatblygu gallu i gymhwyso'r gyfraith i ddiogelu oedolion a phlant. Bydd y modiwl yn canolbwyntio ar natur ddadleuol gofynion cyfreithiol a'r tensiwn, cyfyngiadau a chymhlethdodau sy'n gysylltiedig â'r ddeddfwriaeth a chyfraith achos mewn cyd-destun teuluol.

Bydd pwyslais y modiwl hwn ar osod ymarfer proffesiynol yn ei gyd-destun sefydliadol er mwyn dangos sut gall awdurdodau gwasanaethau cymdeithasol a gweithwyr cymdeithasol unigol fod dan ddyletswydd neu a’r grym i ymyrryd er mwyn hyrwyddo lles unigolyn penodol, teulu, grŵp cleient neu gymuned.

Bydd cynnwys ac asesiad y modiwl yn ystyried pwysigrwydd gwerthoedd gwaith cymdeithasol a bydd hefyd yn adlewyrchu effaith gynyddol o hawliau dynol a deddfwriaeth cydraddoldeb ar wneud penderfyniadau barnwrol yng nghyd-destun gwaith cymdeithasol. Felly bydd y modiwl yn rhoi sylw i'r angen i sicrhau cydbwysedd rhwng cysyniadau fel partneriaeth, ymreolaeth, hunan-benderfyniad a risg yn erbyn yr angen anghyson mewn rhai amgylchiadau i ddiogelu ac ymyrryd yn orfodol. Yn ystod y modiwl bydd myfyrwyr yn dysgu sut i gynnal ymchwil cyfreithiol gan gynnwys sut i ddefnyddio cronfeydd data cyfreithiol soffistigedig.

Bydd llawer o gynnwys y modiwl yn canolbwyntio ar broblemau a bydd myfyrwyr yn cael eu hannog i ddefnyddio'r gyfraith i ddatblygu eu sgiliau datrys problemau. Er enghraifft, bydd y modiwl yn canolbwyntio ar anghenion teuluoedd sy'n agored i niwed a’u hawliau i ddiogelwch, amddiffyn a chymorth mewn meysydd allweddol o'r gyfraith, teulu, tai, anabledd a chymhorthdal incwm, gan ystyried ffactorau penodol perthnasol i ymarfer gwaith cymdeithasol megis risg, hawliau, gwahaniaethau diwylliannol a sensitifrwydd ieithyddol, cyfrifoldebau i ddiogelu unigolion agored i niwed ac oblygiadau cyfreithiol.

Bydd y modiwl yn canolbwyntio ar faterion sy'n ymwneud â darparu gwasanaethau gwaith cymdeithasol yng Nghymru a, lle bo'n briodol, yn tynnu sylw at nodweddion unigryw sydd wedi dod i'r amlwg o ganlyniad i Ddatganoli.

Bydd myfyrwyr yn cael cyflwyniad i sgiliau Llys Barn ac Ysgrifennu Adroddiadau. strong text
