The Welsh Government has updated its operational guidance on the use of face coverings in secondary schools and colleges.


The guidance now states that face coverings should be worn:


* in all areas outside the classroom by staff and learners in secondary schools and colleges
* on dedicated school and college transport for learners in year 7 and up
* by visitors to all schools and colleges, including parents and carers dropping off and picking up children


The move follows the publication of SAGE evidence and a recent TAG report.


Education Minister Kirsty Williams said:



> “It is vital that young people, parents, adults and the workforce feel confident that all measures are being taken to ensure the educational environments are as safe as possible.
> 
> 
> “We have been clear that we will keep every policy under review and will continue to follow scientific advice. The policy we are announcing today does just that.
> 
> 
> “The new guidance is simple to follow, easier to administer and ensures that there is a consistent policy across Wales. We have already announced funding of £2\.3m to support the purchasing of face coverings in secondary schools and colleges.
> 
> 
> “Social distancing and washing hands remain the most important measures that everyone in Wales must continue to take. Wearing face coverings can complement these measures, ensuring we are doing everything we can to keep ourselves and others safe.
> 
> 
> “Everyone in Wales has an important part to play in helping to prevent the spread of coronavirus and keep each other safe. This includes staying out of each other’s homes, except in very limited circumstances, limiting how many different people we meet, maintaining social distancing and washing hands regularly.
> 
> 
> “We will be working with schools and colleges to help reinforce the messages to pupils, parents and staff on the importance of taking responsibility to help save lives and protect our NHS".


The Welsh Government’s policy for face coverings in classrooms remains the same.


In classrooms where contact groups exist and other control measures are in place, the marginal benefit that may be gained by the use of face coverings has to be balanced with the likely negative impact on the learning experience, including hearing and social communication.


Prevention should be the primary aim of all control measures and experience to date suggests that prevention measures have been well understood and widely implemented across our schools and colleges.


The revised guidance is available.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi diweddaru ei chanllawiau gweithredol ar y defnydd o orchuddion wyneb mewn ysgolion uwchradd a cholegau.


Mae’r canllawiau bellach yn nodi y dylai’r canlynol wisgo gorchuddion wyneb:


* staff a dysgwyr ysgolion uwchradd a cholegau ym mhob man y tu allan i’r ystafell ddosbarth
* ddysgwyr blwyddyn 7 ac i fyny ar gludiant penodedig i’r ysgol neu goleg
* ymwelwyr i bob ysgol a choleg, gan gynnwys rhieni a gofalwyr sy’n gollwng ac yn casglu eu plant


Mae hyn yn dilyn cyhoeddi tystiolaeth SAGE ac adroddiad diweddar gan y Grŵp Cyngor Technegol.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Addysg, Kirsty Williams: 


“Mae’n hanfodol i bobl ifanc, rhieni, oedolion a’r gweithlu deimlo’n hyderus bod pob cam yn cael ei gymryd i sicrhau bod pob lleoliad addysg mor ddiogel â phosibl.



> “Rydyn ni wedi dweud yn glir y byddwn ni’n adolygu pob polisi yn gyson, ac yn parhau i ddilyn cyngor gwyddonol. Mae’r polisi sy’n cael ei gyhoeddi heddiw yn gwneud hynny.
> 
> 
> “Mae’r canllawiau newydd yn syml i’w dilyn, yn haws eu gweinyddu ac yn sicrhau bod polisi cyson ar draws Cymru. Rydyn ni eisoes wedi cyhoeddi £2\.3m i helpu i brynu gorchuddion wyneb mewn ysgolion uwchradd a cholegau.
> 
> 
> “Cadw pellter cymdeithasol a golchi dwylo yw’r mesurau pwysicaf i bobl Cymru o hyd. Gall gwisgo gorchuddion wyneb ategu’r mesurau hyn, er mwyn sicrhau ein bod ni’n gwneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i ddiogelu ein hunain ac eraill.
> 
> 
> “Mae gan bawb yng Nghymru ran bwysig i’w chwarae yn helpu i atal lledaeniad y coronafeirws a diogelu ein gilydd. Mae hyn yn cynnwys cadw draw o gartrefi ein gilydd, ac eithrio dan amgylchiadau cyfyngedig iawn, cyfyngu ar nifer y bobl rydyn ni’n cwrdd â nhw, cadw pellter cymdeithasol a golchi dwylo yn rheolaidd.
> 
> 
> “Byddwn yn gweithio gydag ysgolion a cholegau i helpu i bwysleisio wrth y disgyblion, rhieni a staff ei bod yn hanfodol cymryd cyfrifoldeb i helpu i arbed bywydau a diogelu ein Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol”.


Mae polisi Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer ystafelloedd dosbarth yn parhau'r un fath.


Mewn ystafelloedd dosbarth lle mae grwpiau cyswllt yn bodoli a mesurau rheoli eraill yn eu lle, rhaid cydbwyso’r manteision ymylol posibl o ddefnyddio gorchuddion wyneb yn erbyn yr effaith negyddol debygol ar y profiad dysgu, gan gynnwys clyw a chyfathrebu cymdeithasol.


Atal y feirws rhag lledaenu yw prif nod yr holl fesurau rheoli ac mae’r profiadau hyd yma yn awgrymu bod y mesurau atal wedi’u deall a’u gweithredu’n eang ar draws ein hysgolion a’n colegau.


Mae’r canllawiau diwygiedig i’w gweld.
