English: Thank you, Llywydd. I move the motion. The two sets of regulations before the Assembly were consulted upon over the summer and support the first phase of implementing the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016. They relate to the new system of workforce registration required under the Act. The Social Care Wales (Extension of Meaning of 'Social Care Worker') Regulations 2016 prescribe additional descriptions of persons who are to be treated as social care workers for the purposes of Parts 3-8 of the Act. These Parts relate to the exercise of specific functions of Social Care Wales. They include in its role promoting and maintaining high standards in the provision of care and support services; its role in the conduct, practice and training of social care workers; and its role in maintaining public confidence in the social care workforce. As social care workers, these persons may be subject to codes of practice prepared and issued by Social Care Wales and may have access to education, training and certain courses approved by Social Care Wales. The intended effect of the regulations is to encompass a wide breadth of the social care workforce, giving Social Care Wales the freedom and powers it needs to support the delivery of high-quality care and support. They are essential to provide clarity as to who are social care workers for the purposes of the Act. The Social Care Wales (Specification of Social Care Workers) (Registration) Regulations 2016 relate to section 80 of the Act, which requires Social Care Wales to keep a register of social workers, particular descriptions of social care workers and visiting social workers from the European Economic Area and Switzerland. The regulations provide for the registration of managers of regulated services, children's residential care workers and student social workers. They deliver our policy intention of ensuring that those who are currently required to register under the Care Standards Act 2000 will continue to be registered. They also pave the way for future regulations that will require the registration of domiciliary and adult residential care workers. These regulations are necessary to give effect to the new system of workforce registration and regulation to be operated by Social Care Wales from April of next year. As such, I commend them to Members. Llywydd, I take this opportunity to thank the stakeholders for their engagement on this and our officials for the significant work that's gone into developing these regulations.
Welsh: Diolch i chi, Lywydd. Cynigiaf y cynnig. Ymgynghorwyd ar y ddwy set o reoliadau sydd gerbron y Cynulliad yn ystod yr haf ac maen nhw'n cefnogi cam cyntaf rhoi ar waith Ddeddf Rheoleiddio ac Arolygu Gofal Cymdeithasol (Cymru) 2016. Maen nhw'n ymwneud â'r system newydd o gofrestru'r gweithlu sy'n ofynnol o dan y Ddeddf. Mae Rheoliadau Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru (Ehangu Ystyr 'Gweithiwr Gofal Cymdeithasol') 2016 yn rhagnodi disgrifiadau ychwanegol o bersonau sydd i gael eu trin yn weithwyr gofal cymdeithasol at ddibenion Rhannau 3-8 o'r Ddeddf. Mae'r Rhannau hyn yn ymwneud ag arfer swyddogaethau penodol Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru. Maen nhw'n cynnwys ei swyddogaeth o ran hyrwyddo a chynnal safonau uchel o ran darparu gwasanaethau gofal a chymorth; ei swyddogaeth o ran ymddygiad, arfer a hyfforddiant gweithwyr gofal cymdeithasol; a'i swyddogaeth o ran cynnal hyder y cyhoedd yn y gweithlu gofal cymdeithasol. Fel gweithwyr gofal cymdeithasol, gallai'r bobl hyn fod yn atebol i godau ymarfer a baratowyd ac a gyhoeddwyd gan Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru a gallent gael mynediad at addysg, hyfforddiant a chyrsiau penodol a gymeradwywyd gan Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru. Effaith arfaethedig y rheoliadau yw cwmpasu amrywiaeth eang o'r gweithlu gofal cymdeithasol, gan roi'r rhyddid a'r pwerau sydd eu hangen ar Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru i gefnogi'r gwaith o ddarparu gofal a chymorth o ansawdd uchel. Maen nhw'n hanfodol i ddarparu eglurdeb ynghylch pwy sy'n weithwyr gofal cymdeithasol at ddibenion y Ddeddf. Mae Rheoliadau Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru (Pennu Gweithwyr Gofal Cymdeithasol) (Cofrestru) 2016 yn berthnasol i adran 80 o'r Ddeddf, sy'n ei gwneud yn ofynnol i Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru gadw cofrestr o weithwyr cymdeithasol, disgrifiadau penodol o weithwyr gofal cymdeithasol a gweithwyr cymdeithasol sy'n ymweld o'r Ardal Economaidd Ewropeaidd a'r Swistir. Mae'r rheoliadau yn darparu ar gyfer cofrestru rheolwyr gwasanaethau rheoledig, gweithwyr gofal preswyl i blant a gweithwyr cymdeithasol i fyfyrwyr. Maen nhw'n cyflwyno ein bwriad polisi o sicrhau y bydd y rhai y mae'n ofynnol iddyn nhw gofrestru o dan Ddeddf Safonau Gofal 2000 ar hyn o bryd yn parhau i gael eu cofrestru. Maen nhw hefyd yn paratoi'r ffordd ar gyfer rheoliadau yn y dyfodol a fydd yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol cofrestru gweithwyr gofal cartref a gofal preswyl i oedolion. Mae'r rheoliadau hyn yn angenrheidiol i roi ar waith system newydd o reoleiddio a chofrestru'r gweithlu, i'w gweithredu gan Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru o fis Ebrill y flwyddyn nesaf. Fel y cyfryw, rwy'n eu cymeradwyo i'r Aelodau. Lywydd, rwy'n achub ar y cyfle hwn i ddiolch i'r rhanddeiliaid am eu hymgysylltiad ac i'n swyddogion am y gwaith sylweddol y maen nhw wedi'i wneud wrth ddatblygu'r rheoliadau hyn.
