Mae’r cwrs yn rhaglen hyfforddi 16 awr sy’n gallu helpu i atal pobl rhag aildroseddu. Fel arfer mae’n cael ei gynnal mewn ystafell ddosbarth. Mae’n ofynnol mynychu tair sesiwn ar wahân dros gyfnod o bythefnos.


Oherwydd y coronafeirws bu angen atal cynnal cyrsiau yn yr ystafell ddosbarth. Roedd hyn yn golygu nad oedd pobl yn gallu dechrau rhaglenni, er y rhoddwyd caniatâd i ddarparwyr gynnal nifer fach o gyrsiau ar\-lein. Roedd hyn yn galluogi pobl a oedd wedi gwneud rhan o’u cwrs i gwblhau’r cwrs ar\-lein.


Bydd cynnal yr hyfforddiant ar\-lein am gyfnod dros dro yn sicrhau bod cyrsiau’n cael eu cynnal unwaith eto a bydd pobl yn gallu dechrau ar eu cwrs.


Y ddau gwmni sy’n darparu cyrsiau yng Nghymru yw IAM RoadSmart a grŵp TTC. Caiff pobl gwblhau cwrs os ydynt wedi cael eu gwahardd rhag gyrru am gyfnod o 12 mis neu fwy. Bwriad y cyrsiau yw lleihau’r tebygolrwydd o aildroseddu wrth hefyd leihau gwaharddiadau gyrru.


Dywedodd Ken Skates, Gweinidog yr Economi, Trafnidiaeth a Gogledd Cymru: 



> Mae’r cwrs adsefydlu yn bwysig iawn, ac mae’n gallu lleihau’r risg y bydd pobl yn yfed a gyrru yn y dyfodol.
> 
> 
> Wrth roi ganiatâd i gyrsiau gael eu cynnal ar\-lein am gyfnod dros dro, rydyn ni’n hyderus y bydd pobl yn gallu cael yr un budd o’r cynllun, heb orfod teithio a threulio amser mewn lle cyfyngedig. Rydyn ni’n cynnal trafodaethau â darparwyr i sicrhau bod gwasanaethau’n parhau i fod yn hygyrch.
> 
> 
> Byddwn ni’n parhau i adolygu’r cynllun wrth inni ystyried ein hymateb parhaus i COVID\-19\.


Dywedodd Tim Ribton, Rheolwr Cenedlaethol TTC:



> Mae TTC yn parhau i weithio gyda Llywodraeth Cymru i helpu i wella diogelwch ar y ffyrdd ledled Cymru, gan gydnabod pwysigrwydd y rhan mae’r Cynllun Adsefydlu Gyrwyr sy’n Yfed yn ei chwarae wrth wneud ffyrdd Cymru yn fwy diogel ar gyfer pawb. Prif nod TTC yw diogelu pawb sy’n teithio, waeth ydyn nhw’n gyrru, cerdded neu feicio.
> 
> 
> Yn sgil pandemig COVID\-19, bu rhaid cau cyrsiau am grwpiau o bobl dros dro, a byddai hyn wedi cael effaith negyddol ar allu’r troseddwr i gymryd rhan yn y cwrs.  
> 
> 
> Mae penderfyniad Llywodraeth Cymru i ganiatáu cynnal cyrsiau Adsefydlu Gyrwyr sy’n Yfed ar\-lein mewn ystafell ddosbarth rithwir, am gyfnod dros dro, yn benderfyniad gwych, a bydd yn galluogi TCC i barhau i ddarparu rhaglenni newid ymddygiad ar gyfer troseddwyr.  
> 
> 
> Yn ystod y misoedd diwethaf, mae TTC wedi llwyddo i gynnal hyfforddiant ystafell ddosbarth rithwir ar gyfer miloedd o unigolion, ar draws holl feysydd ein busnes, gan barhau â’n hymrwymiad i wella diogelwch ar y ffyrdd.
> 
> 
> Boed yn cael ei chynnal ar\-lein neu yn berson, mae’r Rhaglen Adsefydlu Gyrwyr sy’n Yfed yn hanfodol i wneud gwahaniaeth cadarnhaol, nid yn unig ar gyfer yr unigolion sy’n cwblhau’r cwrs, ond hefyd i deuluoedd a’r gymuned ehangach sy’n rhannu’r ffyrdd ledled Cymru.


Dywedodd Tony Greenidge, Prif Weithredwr dros dro IAM RoadSmart:



> Rydyn ni yn IAM RoadSmart wrth ein boddau yn cael cynnal y Cynllun Adsefydlu Gyrwyr sy’n Yfed yng Nghymru unwaith eto. Mae’n rhan bwysig o’n hymrwymiad i wella diogelwch ar y ffyrdd i bawb, ac rydyn ni’n croesawu penderfyniad Llywodraeth Cymru i ddefnyddio technoleg cynadledda fideo brofedig i hwyluso cyrsiau na fydden nhw wedi cael eu cynnal fel arall.

> 
> Rydyn ni wedi datblygu seilwaith hyfforddi ar\-lein sy’n gallu darparu profiad dysgu gwell, wedi’i ategu gan gwricwlwm cadarn a gofyniad i’r darparwr a’r troseddwr fodloni meini prawf llym ar gyfer y cwrs.  
> 
> 
> Mewn ymateb i bandemig COVID\-19, mae IAM RoadSmart wedi darparu amrediad eang o sesiynau cynadledda fideo ar gyfer busnesau a gyrwyr preifat. Yn ystod y cyfyngiadau symud rydyn ni wedi manteisio ar y cyfle i adolygu a mireinio’r ffordd rydyn ni’n darparu ein cyrsiau, ac mae wedi bod yn dda gennyn ni weld lefelau presenoldeb uchel gan fynychwyr yn gyson drwy gydol y cyfnod hwn.

> Rydyn ni’n croesawu’r cyfle i weithio’n agos gyda Llywodraeth Cymru i fonitro llwyddiant y trefniant dros dro hwn. Mae ein tîm yn barod amdani, ac ar gyfer y troseddwyr sy’n cwblhau’r cwrs rydyn ni’n gwybod y bydd llawer yn cael profiad cadarnhaol a fydd yn newid eu bywyd.







Translation:


 
The course is a 16 hour training programme, which can help to prevent future reoffending. It is usually, delivered in classroom environment. Three separate sessions are required, spread over a two week period.


Coronavirus has led to the suspension of classroom delivery of courses. This meant people could not begin programmes, although providers were granted permission to deliver a small number of online courses. This enabled people part way through their training course, to be able to complete online.


The temporary measure of online training will ensure provision can resume and people can begin courses.


The two providers of courses in Wales are ‘IAM RoadSmart’ and ‘TTC Group’. People can take part in courses if they have a ban of 12 months or more. Courses are intended to reduce the likelihood of reoffending, while also reducing driving bans.


Ken Skates, Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales, said:



> The rehabilitation course is really important and can help reduce the risk of future drink driving.
> 
> 
> In giving the go\-ahead for online provision, on a temporary basis, we are confident people will be able to receive the same benefits from the scheme without having to travel and spend time in confined spaces. We are in discussion with providers to help ensure services remain accessible for people.
> 
> 
> We will continue to keep the scheme under review as we consider our ongoing response to Covid\-19\.


Tim Ribton, TTC National Manager said:



> TTC continues to work with the Welsh Government to help improve road safety throughout Wales, recognising the importance that the Drink Drive Rehabilitation Scheme plays in making Welsh roads safer for everyone.  TTC’s primary goal is about protecting people on the move, whether driving, walking, or cycling.
> 
> 
> In the wake of the COVID\-19 pandemic, workshop courses for groups of people have had to be temporarily suspended, which would have negatively impacted drink driver offender’s ability to participate in the course. 
> 
> 
> The move by the Welsh Government to temporarily allow the Drink Drive Rehabilitation courses to be delivered online in virtual classrooms is an excellent decision, allowing TTC to continue delivering behavioural change programmes to offenders.
> 
> 
> Over the past few months, TTC has been successfully delivering virtual classroom training to thousands of individuals, across all areas of our business to continue in our commitment to improving road safety.
> 
> 
> Whether delivered online or in person, the Drink Drive Rehabilitation programme is crucial to making a positive difference, not only to the individual offenders who complete the course, but also for families and the wider community who all share use of the roads throughout Wales.


Tony Greenidge, Interim IAM RoadSmart Chief Executive said:



> IAM RoadSmart is delighted to be able to resume delivery of the Drink Drive Rehabilitation scheme in Wales. This is an important part of our commitment to improving road safety for all and we welcome the decision of the Welsh Government to use proven video conferencing technology to facilitate courses that would otherwise not have taken place.
> 
> 
> Supported by a robust curriculum and the requirement for both the training provider and offender to adhere to strict course delivery criteria, we have developed an online training infrastructure that can deliver an enhanced learning experience.
> 
> 
> In response to the COVID\-19 pandemic IAM RoadSmart has delivered a wide range of video conference sessions to both business and private drivers. During this lockdown period we have taken the opportunity to review and fine\-tune our course delivery and we are pleased to have seen consistently high levels of attendee engagement throughout.
> 
> 
> We welcome the opportunity to work closely with the Welsh Government to monitor the success of this temporary arrangement. Our team is ready to deliver and for those offenders who complete the course we know that many will undergo a positive and life changing experience.
