Partial Closure

Our service will do what is reasonably possible to remain open for our service users, however due to an escalation in COVID 19 cases and reduced staffing levels, we may need to consider a Partial Closure to enable us to operate safely.

Partial Closures will be in line with Local Authority Guidance and priority access to the service will be as follows:

Priority 1
Resilient Families Service Children & Term 3 children (these would have been most impacted by previous closures)

Priority 2
Term 1 children (since they are still settling so would not want any further disruption)

Priority 3
Term 2 children (they would have received a full summer term so have had minimal disruption to date)

We will only consider Partial Closure when we have no other options available, so please ensure you keep your contact details up to date and check in with our Facebook groups.

Cau Rhannol

Bydd ein gwasanaeth yn gwneud yr hyn sy'n rhesymol bosibl i aros ar agor i'n defnyddwyr gwasanaeth, ond oherwydd cynnydd mewn achosion COVID 19 a lefelau staffio is, efallai y bydd angen i ni ystyried Cau Rhannol i'n galluogi i weithredu'n ddiogel.

Byddwn yn Cau Rhannol yn unol â Chanllawiau'r Awdurdod Lleol a bydd mynediad â blaenoriaeth i'r gwasanaeth fel y ganlyn:

Blaenoriaeth 1
Plant Gwasanaeth Teuluoedd Cydnerth a phlant tymor 3 (byddai'r cauiadau blaenorol wedi effeithio fwyaf ar y rhain)

Blaenoriaeth 2
Plant tymor 1 (gan eu bod yn dal i setlo felly ni fyddent am gael unrhyw aflonyddwch pellach)

Blaenoriaeth 3
Plant tymor 2 (byddent wedi derbyn tymor haf llawn felly ychydig o aflonyddwch a gawsant hyd yma)

Dim ond pan nad oes gennym unrhyw opsiynau eraill ar gael y byddwn yn ystyried Cauiad Rhannol, felly gwnewch yn siŵr eich bod yn cadw'ch manylion cyswllt yn gyfoes ac yn edrych ar ein grwpiau Facebook.
