Further to my statement in Plenary on 22 May 2018, I am pleased to share with you links to the consultation packages on regulating fostering, adult placement and – for the first time – children’s statutory advocacy services.  

  

These consultations are part of phase 3 of implementing the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016, which is due to come into effect in April 2019\.  

  

  

The fostering services consultation seeks views on:  

 


* requirements to be placed upon service providers and responsible individuals of independent fostering agencies, under the 2016 Act
* requirements to be placed upon local authority fostering services, under the Social Services and Well\-being (Wales) Act 2014
* a revised process for approving  foster parents (the Independent Review Mechanism).


  

In addition to the consultation document, also enclosed are a set of draft Regulations; draft statutory guidance, under s.29 of the 2016 Act (in respect of the independent providers) and a draft code of practice, under s.145 of the 2014 Act (in respect of local authority services).  The draft guidance and code contain further information on how providers may comply with the service requirements, set out in the Regulations.  

  

  

The adult placement services consultation seeks views on:


 


 


* requirements to be placed upon service providers and responsible  individuals of independent and local authority adult placement schemes, under the 2016 Act
* the principle of extending these placement schemes to include 16 and 17 year olds
* draft statutory guidance to accompany the Regulations.


 


  

The advocacy services consultation seeks views on new Regulations which place requirements on service providers and responsible individuals of children’s statutory advocacy services.  These are advocacy services arranged by local authorities, under their 2014 Act duties, to assist children, looked after children and certain types of care leavers in making representations about their needs for care and support.  Also enclosed for consideration is draft statutory guidance, to complement the Regulations.    

  

  

The overall approach to developing the requirements for phase 3 services has been to draw from and, wherever appropriate, equate these with the standards approved by this Assembly and put in place at phase 2 of implementation (April 2018\), for services such as care homes and domiciliary support.    

  

Ensuring consistency in the requirements placed on providers and responsible individuals of all regulated services is one of my main policy objectives in implementing the Act.  However, I also recognise that each service has its own characteristics.  Therefore, where appropriate the draft requirements are tailored to ensure the best fit with how phase 3 services are delivered in practice, without compromising the overall expectations.  

  

As with phase 2, the draft Regulations have been scoped and developed with the assistance and advice of stakeholder technical groups, to whom I am very grateful.  Their contributions have helped to ensure that the draft requirements are suitable for their particular service. I welcome further views on this.  

  

The consultations will close on Thursday 16 August 2018\.

Yn dilyn fy natganiad yn y Cyfarfod Llawn ar 22 Mai 2018, mae'n bleser gen i rannu dolenni â chi i'r pecynnau ymgynghori ar reoleiddio gwasanaethau maethu, lleoli oedolion ac, am y tro cyntaf, gwasanaethau eirioli statudol plant.   
  
Mae'r ymgyngoriadau hyn yn rhan o gam 3 y broses o weithredu Deddf Rheoleiddio ac Arolygu Gofal Cymdeithasol (Cymru) 2016 a fydd yn dod i rym ym mis Ebrill 2019\.   
  
  
Mae'r ymgynghoriad ar wasanaethau maethu yn gofyn am farn ar:   
  


* ofynion i'w gosod ar ddarparwyr gwasanaethau ac unigolion cyfrifol asiantaethau maethu annibynnol, dan Ddeddf 2016
* gofynion i'w gosod ar wasanaethau maethu awdurdodau lleol, dan Ddeddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) 2014
* proses ddiwygiedig ar gyfer cymeradwyo rhieni maeth (y Mecanwaith Adolygu Annibynnol).

  
Yn ogystal â'r ddogfen ymgynghori, wedi'u cynnwys mae set o Reoliadau drafft; canllawiau statudol drafft, dan adran 29 o Ddeddf 2016 (mewn perthynas â'r darparwyr annibynnol) a chod ymarfer drafft, dan adran 145 o Ddeddf 2014 (mewn perthynas â gwasanaethau awdurdodau lleol). Mae'r canllawiau drafft a'r cod yn cynnwys gwybodaeth bellach ar y ffordd y caiff darparwyr gydymffurfio â gofynion y gwasanaeth sydd wedi'u nodi yn y Rheoliadau.   
  
Mae'r ymgynghoriad ar wasanaethau lleoli oedolion yn gofyn am farn ar:   
  
* ofynion i'w gosod ar ddarparwyr gwasanaethau ac unigolion cyfrifol cynlluniau lleoli oedolion annibynnol ac awdurdodau lleol, dan Ddeddf 2016
* yr egwyddor o ymestyn y cynlluniau hyn i gynnwys pobl ifanc 16 a 17 oed
* canllawiau statudol drafft i gyd\-fynd â'r Rheoliadau.

  
  
Mae'r ymgynghoriad ar wasanaethau eirioli yn gofyn am farn ar Reoliadau newydd sy'n gosod gofynion ar ddarparwyr gwasanaethau ac unigolion cyfrifol gwasanaethau eirioli statudol plant. Caiff y gwasanaethau eirioli hyn eu trefnu gan awdurdodau lleol dan ddyletswydd Deddf 2014 i gynorthwyo plant, plant sy'n derbyn gofal a mathau penodol o unigolion sy'n gadael gofal i wneud sylwadau am eu hanghenion o ran gofal a chymorth. Rydym hefyd wedi amgáu canllawiau statudol drafft i'w hystyried, a fydd yn cyd\-fynd â'r Rheoliadau.   
  
  
Wrth fynd ati i ddatblygu'r gofynion ar gyfer gwasanaethau cam 3, rydym wedi ystyried ac, os yn briodol, cysoni â'r safonau a gafodd eu cymeradwyo gan y Cynulliad hwn a’u gweithredu yn ystod cam 2 (Ebrill 2018\) ar gyfer gwasanaethau gan gynnwys cartrefi gofal a chymorth cartref.   
  
Mae sicrhau cysondeb yn y gofynion a osodir ar ddarparwyr ac unigolion cyfrifol yr holl wasanaethau rheoleiddiedig yn un o fy mhrif amcanion polisi wrth weithredu'r Ddeddf. Fodd bynnag, rwyf hefyd yn cydnabod bod gan bob gwasanaeth ei nodweddion ei hun. Bydd y gofynion drafft felly yn cael eu teilwra lle bo'n briodol i sicrhau eu bod yn cyd\-fynd yn y ffordd orau â darpariaeth gwasanaethau cam 3 yn ymarferol, heb gyfaddawdu'r disgwyliadau cyffredinol.   
  
Yn yr un modd â cham 2, mae'r Rheoliadau drafft wedi'u cynllunio a'u datblygu gyda chymorth a chyngor gan grwpiau technegol rhanddeiliaid, ac rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn iddynt am hynny. Mae eu cyfraniadau wedi helpu i sicrhau bod y gofynion drafft yn addas ar gyfer eu gwasanaethau penodol. Rwy'n croesawu barn bellach ar hyn.  
  
Bydd yr ymgyngoriadau hyn yn dod i ben ddydd Iau 16 Awst 2018\.
