Mae'r modiwl hwn yn anelu at adeiladu ar fodiwl y Flwyddyn 1af, a chynyddu gwybodaeth, dealltwriaeth am gymhwyso’r gyfraith i ymarfer gwaith cymdeithasol.

Bydd y pwyslais y modiwl hwn ar sgiliau defnyddio’r gyfraith i hyrwyddo a chefnogi unigolion, teuluoedd, grwpiau cleient neu gymunedau yng nghyd-destun anghyfiawnder cymdeithasol lle bydd yn aelodau bregus o gymdeithas dan anfantais sylweddol.

Bydd y cynnwys a'r asesiad o'r modiwl yn cymryd i ystyriaeth y newid a’r datblygiad yng nghyd-destun ymarfer gwaith cymdeithasol yng Nghymru, a’r cymhlethdod cynyddol sy'n wynebu grwpiau mewn cymdeithas sydd wedi’u heithrio a'u gwthio i'r cyrion. Felly bydd y modiwl yn cydnabod y gwahanol gyd-destunau a sectorau lle bydd gweithwyr cymdeithasol cymwysedig yn ymarfer, gan ystyried nid yn unig swyddogaethau statudol, ond arwyddocâd deall cyd-destun deddfwriaethol o fewn y trydydd sector a sefydliadau anllywodraethol. Yn ystod y modiwl, bydd myfyrwyr yn datblygu eu sgiliau a’u hyder ymhellach wrth gael gafael ar adnoddau cyfreithiol a defnyddio'r rhain i lunio ymatebion cydlynol a chyfreithiol gadarn i'r problemau a wynebir gan ddefnyddwyr gwasanaeth.

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.

Bydd y modiwl hefyd yn crybwyll materion cymhleth a dadleuol sy'n dod i'r amlwg megis y ffiniau a’r dyletswyddau sy'n gorgyffwrdd rhwng iechyd a lles a gofal cymdeithasol a rheoli mewnfudo.

Bydd y modiwl yn canolbwyntio ar y dasg gwaith cymdeithasol mewn sefyllfaoedd cymhleth sydd yn cyffwrdd â nifer o feysydd gwahanol o gyfraith a pholisi; megis problemau o blentyn mewn angen o ganlyniad i anabledd corfforol a/neu feddyliol fydd efallai’n gofyn am wybodaeth o ddeddfwriaeth gofal plant a gofal yn y gymuned.

Bydd y modiwl yn canolbwyntio ar ddatblygiadau cyfreithiol cyfoes a chyfraith achos, ac ystyried eu goblygiadau ar gyfer ymarfer gwaith cymdeithasol a darparu gwasanaethau gwaith cymdeithasol yng Nghymru.

Bydd themâu sy'n cael sylw yn y modiwl hwn yn cynnwys:

Trais a chamdriniaeth domestig Digartrefedd Mabwysiadu Cyfiawnder Ieuenctid Tai Herwgipio a masnachu dynol Ceiswyr lloches Hawliau lles Hawliau plant a CCUHP yng Nghymru Deddfwriaeth gwrth-wahaniaethu a hyrwyddo hawliau dynol Gweithio ar draws ffiniau Iechyd a Gwasanaeth Cymdeithasol

Gall y wybodaeth sy'n ymwneud â chyfraith gwaith cymdeithasol yn y modiwl hwn yn newid yn sgil deddfwriaeth newydd a chyfraith achos.
