- Aim: To provide life skills and learning support for young
adults aged 16 to 30 who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Nod: Darparu sgiliau bywyd a chymorth dysgu ar gyfer oedolion ifanc rhwng 16 a 30 mlwydd oed sy'n fyddar neu’n drwm eu clyw. - Impact: Our Young Adult Transitions project in south-east
Wales reduces isolation and improves self-confidence in young adults who
are deaf or hard of hearing. It enables them to progress from dependent
to independent living by making their own decisions about their futures,
managing their own home lives and social activities, and maintaining good
physical health. It also enables them to develop and advance their careers
by joining training courses, attending structured learning programmes,
taking up volunteering and seeking new employment opportunities.
Funded by the Big Lottery and Barclays, we exceeded our first year target by supporting 21 young adults (our target was 17) on a one-to-one basis. We also provided basic information, advice and signposting to 79 clients, more than half (40) of whom were local to the area.
Effaith:Mae ein prosiect Pontio Oedolion Ifanc yn ne-ddwyrain Cymru yn lleihau unigrwydd ac yn gwella hunanhyder oedolion ifanc sy'n fyddar neu'n drwm eu clyw. Mae'r prosiect yn eu galluogi hwy i symud o fod yn ddibynnol i fyw'n annibynnol drwy wneud eu penderfyniadau eu hunain ynglŷn â'u dyfodol hwy, rheoli eu bywyd cartref a'u gweithgareddau cymdeithasol eu hunain, a chadw eu hunain yn heini ac yn iach. Mae'r prosiect hefyd yn eu galluogi hwy i ddatblygu ac ymestyn eu gyrfaoedd drwy ymuno â chyrsiau hyfforddiant, mynychu rhaglenni dysgu strwythuredig, rhoi tro ar wirfoddoli a chwilio am gyfleoedd cyflogaeth newydd.
Ariennir y prosiect gan y Loteri Fawr a Barclays, a gwnaethom ragori ar ein targed ar gyfer y flwyddyn gyntaf drwy gefnogi 21 o oedolion ifanc (ein targed oedd 17) yn unigol. Gwnaethom hefyd roi gwybodaeth gyffredinol, cyngor a chyfeiriadau i 79 o gleientiaid, yr oedd dros hanner ohonynt (40) yn bobl leol.
- Aim: To enable people who are deaf or hard of hearing to
make informed decisions about their lives.
Nod: Galluogi pobl sy'n fyddar neu'n drwm eu clyw i wneud penderfyniadau hyddysg ynglŷn â'u bywydau. - Impact: We provide valuable
information to people who have hearing loss or tinnitus, or both, and
to relevant organisations across Wales to provide as many people as possible
with information about the support available to them.
Our Welsh Information Officers continue to develop valuable new partnerships with networks such as food co-operatives, hard of hearing groups and Women's Institutes, many of which are in rural, isolated or disadvantaged areas. The team made contact with more than 7,000 people through outreach events and answered 1,343 requests for information.
Effaith:Rydym yn rhoi gwybodaeth werthfawr i bobl sy'n colli eu clyw, neu'n dioddef o dinitws, neu'r ddau, ac i gyrff perthnasol ledled Cymru er mwyn rhoi gwybodaeth i gymaint o bobl â phosibl am y cymorth sydd ar gael iddynt.
Mae ein Swyddogion Gwybodaeth yng Nghymru yn parhau i feithrin partneriaethau newydd gyda rhwydweithiau megis siopau bwyd cydweithredol, grwpiau ar gyfer pobl trwm eu clyw a Sefydliadau Merched, y mae nifer ohonynt wedi'u lleoli mewn ardaloedd gwledig, pellennig neu o ddifreintiedig. Cysylltodd y tîm â thros 7000 o bobl drwy ddigwyddiadau allgymorth ac ymateb i 1,343 o geisiadau am wybodaeth.
- Aim: To provide high-quality information and aftercare
services for people who wear hearing aids.
Nod: Rhoi gwybodaeth o safon uchel a darparu gwasanaethau ôl-ofal i bobl sy'n defnyddio cymhorthion clyw. - Impact: We have begun delivery
of a pilot Hear to Help project, running in partnership with North Wales
NHS Trust East Region Audiology department. The scheme follows a model
similar to those of Northern Ireland and Scotland. It also aims to produce
a 'toolkit' for audiology departments while simultaneously influencing
both local and national (devolved) government to routinely provide this
support.
Effaith: Rydym wedi cychwyn prosiect peilot Gair i Glust, sy'n cael ei redeg mewn partneriaeth ag Adran Awdioleg Rhanbarth Dwyreiniol Ymddiriedolaeth GIG Gogledd Cymru. Mae'r cynllun yn dilyn model tebyg i'r rhai a ddilynir yng Ngogledd Iwerddon a'r Alban. Mae'r cynllun hefyd yn bwriadu datblygu 'pecyn cymorth' ar gyfer adrannau awdioleg a dylanwadu ar lywodraeth leol a chenedlaethol (ddatganoledig) ar yr un pryd i ddarparu'r cymorth hwn fel mater o drefn.
- Aim: To work towards better mental health services for
people who are deaf.
Nod: Gweithio tuag at well gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl ar gyfer pobl fyddar. - Impact: We are working with
NDCS, BDA, Wales Council for Deaf People, Sense, Deafblind Cymru and Mind
Cymru to improve mental health services in Wales for people who are deaf.
The Welsh Assembly Government has now agreed to hold a workshop day to
develop an action plan to address the lack of services in Wales.
Effaith: Rydym yn gweithio gyda'r Gymdeithas Genedlaethol i Blant Byddar, Cymdeithas Pobl Fyddar Prydain, Cyngor Cymru i Bobl Fyddar, Sense, Deafblind Cymru a Mind Cymru i wella gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl yng Nghymru ar gyfer pobl fyddar. Mae Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru bellach wedi cytuno i gynnal diwrnod gweithdy er mwyn datblygu cynllun gweithredu i fynd i'r afael â'r diffyg gwasanaethau yng Nghymru.
- Aim: To continue our campaign to ensure NHS waiting times
for patients needing hearing aids are reduced.
Nod: Parhau â'n hymgyrch i sicrhau bod amseroedd aros y GIG ar gyfer cleifion sydd angen cymhorthion clyw yn cael eu cwtogi. - Impact:
In Wales, the target waiting time for an audiology referral is 14 weeks. Just over three-quarters of patients have their aids updated within that target time, but the remaining patients are currently waiting up to 24 weeks.
RNID Cymru is working with the Welsh Assembly Government to monitor this and to address unacceptable waiting times for existing patients waiting for updated hearing aids and so help improve the quality of lives through quicker support for hearing loss.
Effaith:Yng Nghymru, yr amser aros targed ar gyfer atgyfeiriad awdiolegol yw 14 wythnos. Mae ychydig dros dri chwarter o gleifion yn cael eu cymhorthion clyw wedi eu diweddaru o fewn yr amser targed hwnnw, ond mae'r cleifion sy'n weddill yn aros am hyd at 24 wythnos ar hyn o bryd.
Mae RNID Cymru yn gweithio gyda Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru i fonitro hyn ac i fynd i'r afael ag amseroedd aros annerbyniol ar gyfer cleifion presennol sy'n aros i ddiweddaru eu cymhorthion clyw, a thrwy hynny helpu i wella ansawdd bywyd drwy roi cymorth cyflymach i bobl sy’n colli eu clyw.
- Aim: To improve the quality of and access to audiology
services.
Nod: Gwella ansawdd gwasanaethau awdioleg a'r mynediad iddynt. - Impact: We are working with
the Health Minister Edwina Hart on introducing quality standards for audiology
in Wales which will ensure a more responsive and personalised service
for patients.
Effaith: Rydym yn cydweithio ag Edwina Hart, y Gweinidog Iechyd, i gyflwyno safonau ansawdd ar gyfer awdioleg yng Nghymru a fydd yn sicrhau gwasanaeth mwy ymatebol a phersonol ar gyfer cleifion.
- Aim: To change the attitude and engagement of service providing
organisations to people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Nod: Newid agwedd ac ymgysylltiad sefydliadau sy'n darparu gwasanaethau i bobl sy'n fyddar neu'n drwm eu clyw. - Impact: RNID Cymru is working
with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales and RNIB to review NHS services and
develop healthcare standards. The work has involved workshops with deaf
and blind patients on what improvements they would like to see in the
NHS.
Effaith: Mae RNID Cymru yn cydweithio ag Arolygiaeth Gofal Iechyd Cymru a'r RNIB i adolygu gwasanaethau'r GIG a datblygu safonau gofal iechyd. Mae'r gwaith wedi cynnwys gweithdai gyda chleifion byddar a thrwm eu clyw ar y gwelliannau yr hoffent eu gweld yn y GIG.
