Bydd y cymorth ariannol ychwanegol ar gael i fyfyrwyr israddedig ac ôl\-raddedig yng Nghymru drwy’r Fwrsariaeth Gwaith Cymdeithasol, a fydd yn darparu bron i £10 miliwn dros y tair blynedd nesaf i helpu gweithwyr cymdeithasol y dyfodol.


Bydd israddedigion cymwys sy’n astudio am radd mewn gwaith cymdeithasol yn gallu cael hyd at £3,750 y flwyddyn dros gyfnod y cwrs tair blynedd, yn ogystal â’r cyllid sydd ar gael iddynt drwy Gyllid Myfyrwyr Cymru.


Bydd myfyrwyr ôl\-raddedig yn gallu cael £12,715 y flwyddyn dros gyfnod eu cwrs dwy flynedd. Bydd hyn y lleihau’r benthyciad y bydd angen i fyfyrwyr ei ad\-dalu ar ôl gorffen astudio.


Mae hwn yn gynnydd o fwy na 50% o gymharu â’r fwrsariaeth bresennol ar gyfer israddedigion ac ôl\-raddedigion.


Mae gwaith cymdeithasol yn newid; mae anghenion pobl yn newid, ac mae achosion yn dod yn fwy cymhleth. Mae’r pandemig wedi rhoi pwysau ychwanegol ar waith cymdeithasol ac mae heriau recriwtio a chadw staff yn cynyddu.


Mae’r Fwrsariaeth Gwaith Cymdeithasol yn ysgogi pobl i ddilyn hyfforddiant gwaith cymdeithasol, gyda’r nod o feithrin gweithlu gwaith cymdeithasol cynaliadwy yng Nghymru. Y cynnydd yn y fwrsariaeth yw’r cam cyntaf mewn cynlluniau i gynyddu’r nifer sy’n cael eu recriwtio i’r sector gwaith cymdeithasol, ac mae disgwyl i Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru gyhoeddi cynllun ar gyfer y gweithlu gwaith cymdeithasol yr haf hwn.


Dywedodd y Dirprwy Weinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, Julie Morgan:



> Bydd yr hyn rydym yn ei gyhoeddi yn darparu’r cymorth ariannol ychwanegol y mae mawr ei angen ar fyfyrwyr gwaith cymdeithasol. Bydd yn helpu mwy o bobl i hyfforddi fel gweithwyr cymdeithasol, eu helpu i aros ac i gwblhau eu cwrs ac yn meithrin capasiti o fewn y system. Drwy gefnogi gweithwyr cymdeithasol y dyfodol wrth iddynt gymryd eu camau cyntaf i mewn i’r sector, gallwn recriwtio a chadw mwy o staff yn y sector.

> Ein prif nod ar gyfer y gweithlu iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yw bod y proffesiynau i gyd yn cael yr un parch. Mae gweithwyr cymdeithasol yn chwarae rôl hollbwysig yn ei cymunedau, yn cefnogi pobl i gael rheolaeth dros eu bywydau eu hunain. Maen nhw’n ganolog i’n system gofal cymdeithasol ac yn allweddol i ddarparu gofal effeithiol, sy’n gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i unigolion ac i’r cymunedau lle maen nhw’n byw.


Dywedodd Prif Swyddog Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru, Albert Heaney:



> Rwy’n falch ein bod wedi cael Gweinidogion Cymru i gytuno ar becyn o gymorth ariannol ychwanegol gwerth £3\.5 miliwn ar gyfer myfyrwyr gwaith cymdeithasol newydd, tuag at eu cyrsiau ym mis Medi. Mae’r arian hwn yn cael ei ddarparu drwy’r Fwrsariaeth Gwaith Cymdeithasol, a bydd yn rhoi hwb ychwanegol i helpu myfyrwyr israddedig ac ôl\-raddedig yng Nghymru i ddilyn a chwblhau eu cyrsiau a chynyddu niferoedd ein gweithwyr cymdeithasol gwerthfawr.


Dywedodd Prif Weithredwr Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru, Sue Evans:



> Rwy’n hynod o falch gweld bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn rhoi cymorth pellach i’r sector gofal cymdeithasol ac yn benodol, i weithwyr cymdeithasol yng Nghymru. Cyflwynodd Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru’r dystiolaeth i alluogi Llywodraeth Cymru i gynyddu’r fwrsariaeth ar gyfer myfyrwyr gwaith cymdeithasol. Rydyn ni’n cydnabod ac yn gwerthfawrogi’r gwaith gwerthfawr y mae gweithwyr cymdeithasol yn ei wneud ar draws Cymru, ac yn edrych ymlaen at weld mwy o fyfyrwyr yn ymuno â’r proffesiwn. Byddwn yn cyhoeddi cynllun gweithlu ar gyfer gwaith cymdeithasol yn fuan sy’n nodi’r ystod o gamau y mae angen inni eu cymryd gyda phartneriaid i ddatblygu a chefnogi gweithwyr cymdeithasol yng Nghymru sy’n gweithio ym mhob cymuned yn ein gwlad. Mae gwella’r fwrsariaeth yn elfen allweddol o’r cynllun hwn.


Bydd rhagor o fanylion ar y cyllid newydd hwn ar gael ar wefan Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru.

The enhanced financial support will be available for both undergraduate and postgraduate students in Wales via the Social Work Bursary, which will provide almost £10 million over the next three years to assist future social workers.


Eligible undergraduates studying for the social work degree will be able to access up to £3,750 per year over the three\-year course in addition to the funding available to them through Student Finance Wales.


Postgraduate students will be able to access £12,715 per year of their two year course. This will reduce the loan element students will need to repay after their studies.


This represents a more than 50% increase on the current bursary for both undergraduates and postgraduates.


Social work is changing; people’s needs are changing, and cases are becoming more complex. The pandemic has added pressures to social work and recruitment and retention challenges are increasing.


The Social Work Bursary incentivises people to take up social work training with the aim of building a sustainable social work workforce in Wales. The increase to the bursary is just the first step in plans to increase recruitment to the social work sector, with Social Care Wales due to publish a social work workforce plan this summer.


The Deputy Minister for Social Services, Julie Morgan said:



> This announcement will provide much needed additional financial support for social work students.  It will help more people train as social workers, help them remain on and complete their course and build capacity within the system. By supporting our future social workers as they take their first steps into the sector, we can better recruit and retain staff in the sector.
> 
> 
> Our overall ambition for the health and social care workforce is for parity of esteem between the professions. Social workers carry out a vital role within our communities, supporting people to take charge of their own lives. They are at the core of our social care system and key to the delivery of effective care, which makes a real difference to individuals and to the communities in which they live.


Chief Social Care Officer for Wales, Albert Heaney said:



> I am pleased that we have secured Welsh Ministerial agreement for an extra £3\.5 million package of financial support for new social work students towards their courses from September. This funding, provided through the Social Work Bursary, will provide an extra boost to support both undergraduate and postgraduate students in Wales to undertake and complete their courses and increase the ranks of our invaluable social workers.


The Chief Executive of Social Care Wales, Sue Evans, said:



> I am delighted to see further support from Welsh Government for the social care sector and specifically for social workers in Wales. Social Care Wales provided the evidence to enable Welsh Government to increase the bursary for social work students. We recognise and appreciate the invaluable work carried out by social workers across Wales and look forward to seeing more students joining the profession. We will shortly be publishing a workforce plan for social work that identifies the range of actions we need to take with partners to support the development and support for social workers in Wales who are working in every community of our country. Improving the bursary offer is a key element of this plan.


Further details of this new funding will be available on the Social Care Wales website.
