PACEY Connect (Cymru)/Cyswllt yng Nghymru

Rydym yn darparu cefnogaeth hyblyg sydd wedi’i theilwra i awdurdodau lleol a gweithwyr gofal plant proffesiynol yng Nghymru fel bod plant yn elwa o ofal plant o safon.

Pecyn o wasanaethau yw PACEY Cyswllt (Cymru) sydd wedi’i gynllunio i helpu awdurdodau lleol Cymru i gefnogi gwarchodwyr plant yn eu hardal, yn ogystal â’r rhai sy’n gweithio ym maes gofal plant ledled Cymru.

Mae’r pecynnau’n canolbwyntio ar dri maes:

Darpariaeth newydd ar gyfer gwarchod plant, gofal plant a blynyddoedd cynnar: ar gyfer darpar warchodwyr plant a gwarchodwyr plant sydd newydd gofrestru, a’r rheini sy’n edrych i weithio neu sydd newydd eu cyflogi yn y sector gofal plant a blynyddoedd cynnar.

Cefnogaeth i wella ansawdd: ar gyfer gwarchodwyr plant a’r rheini sy’n gweithio ym maes gofal plant a blynyddoedd cynnar o amgylch gwella ansawdd a datblygiad proffesiynol parhaus (DPP) i hyrwyddo proffesiynoldeb.

Darpariaeth gwarchod plant a gofal plant a blynyddoedd cynnar cynaliadwy: cefnogi datblygiad busnes a chynaliadwyedd.

Sut mae prynu gwasanaethau PACEY Cyswllt (Cymru)?

Awdurdodau lleol neu asiantaethau statudol eraill

Mae’n ddyletswydd ar awdurdodau lleol i sicrhau bod gan y plant yn eu hardaloedd lleol y safonau gofal gorau posib. Gall pobl sy’n gweithio dros awdurdodau lleol yng Nghymru neu asiantaethau statudol brynu gwasanaethau ar ran gweithwyr gofal plant proffesiynol a blynyddoedd cynnar yn eu hardal.

Mae ein gwasanaethau’n hyblyg, felly gall awdurdodau ddewis:

Prynu ystod o wasanaethau fel rhan o gontract gyda PACEY Cymru am flwyddyn neu fwy
Prynu gwasanaethau penodol ar unrhyw adeg o’r flwyddyn yn seiliedig ar anghenion uniongyrchol

Gweithwyr gofal plant a blynyddoedd cynnar

Gall gweithwyr proffesiynol gofal plant a blynyddoedd cynnar ddewis prynu ein gwasanaethau yn uniongyrchol. Gallant wneud hyn fel unigolion neu fel grŵp, er enghraifft grŵp cymorth cymheiriaid lleol.

ut mae gwasanaethau'n cael eu darparu?

Bydd tîm o hyfforddwyr PACEY yn cyflwyno’r hyfforddiant. Mae hyfforddwyr a Chysylltiadau PACEY yn brofiadol mewn gofal plant yn y cartref ac o ran cefnogi dysgwyr sy’n oedolion.

Faint mae'r pecynnau'n eu costio?

Mae ein pecynnau cymorth yn werth rhagorol am arian i gomisiynwyr awdurdodau lleol ac i weithwyr gofal plant a blynyddoedd cynnar proffesiynol.

Mae’r ffioedd yn amrywio ac yn cynnwys amser datblygu hyfforddiant, ffioedd rheoli a chostau teithio.

Mae costau lleoliad yn ychwanegol gan fod llawer o awdurdodau lleol yn gallu darparu eu rhai eu hunain ar gyfradd is neu am ddim. Os nad yw hyn yn bosib, gallwn drefnu lleoliadau a bydd y costau hyn yn cael eu hychwanegu at y ffioedd.
