The importance of 'effective communication' for the well-being of children and young people Pwysigrwydd 'cyfathrebu effeithiol' ar gyfer llesiant plant a phobl ifanc

Health and social care workers provide a range of information to children and young people who use services, to enable them to understand the support that is available to meet their needs. Exchanging information is important in order to develop an understanding of the needs of an individual, to support individuals requiring the care and improve the quality of service provision.

Mae gweithwyr iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yn rhoi amrywiaeth o wybodaeth i blant a phobl ifanc sy'n defnyddio gwasanaethau, er mwyn eu galluogi i ddeall y cymorth sydd ar gael i ddiwallu eu hanghenion. Mae cyfnewid gwybodaeth yn bwysig i feithrin dealltwriaeth o anghenion unigolyn, er mwyn cefnogi'r unigolion y mae angen gofal arnynt a gwella ansawdd y gwasanaeth a ddarperir.

Health and social care workers will establish many different relationships across the sector, some of which will be formal and others more informal. Two-way communication is required to form relationships and establish the boundaries. It will help to ensure that everyone concerned understands the purpose of the relationship and what they are aiming to achieve.

The relationships between workers and children and young people accessing services, and between colleagues, have an impact on the ability to provide effective care and support. Respect for each other can be developed through the use of good communication. Getting to know children and young people by talking and listening to them will enable carers to develop an understanding and awareness which will lead to stronger relationships in the long term.

Positive relationships are developed between workers and children and young people when they communicate effectively, and trust is established. In order to maintain effective support and achieve success, each individual involved in a relationship should know clearly what their responsibilities are and what the other individual’s expectations are.

Bydd gweithwyr iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yn ffurfio llawer o gydberthnasau gwahanol yn eu rôl – bydd rhai yn ffurfiol ac eraill yn anffurfiol. Mae angen cyfathrebu'r ddwy ffordd yn y cydberthnasau hyn, a phennu'r ffiniau ar eu cyfer. Bydd hyn hefyd yn helpu i sicrhau bod pawb dan sylw yn deall diben y gydberthynas a'r hyn y mae pawb am ei gyflawni.

Mae'r cydberthnasau rhwng gweithwyr a phlant a phobl ifanc sy'n defnyddio gwasanaethau, a rhwng cydweithwyr, yn effeithio ar y gallu i ddarparu gofal a chymorth effeithiol. Gellir meithrin parch at ei gilydd drwy gyfathrebu'n dda. Bydd dod i adnabod unigolion drwy siarad â nhw a gwrando arnynt yn galluogi gofalwyr i feithrin dealltwriaeth ac ymwybyddiaeth a fydd yn arwain at gydberthnasau cryfach yn yr hirdymor.

Caiff cydberthnasau cadarnhaol eu meithrin rhwng gweithwyr a phlant ac unigolion pan fyddant yn cyfathrebu'n effeithiol a phan sefydlir ymddiriedaeth. Er mwyn cynnal cymorth effeithiol a chael llwyddiant, dylai pob unigolyn sy'n rhan o gydberthynas wybod yn glir beth yw ei gyfrifoldebau a beth yw disgwyliadau'r unigolyn arall.

Think about the different reasons as to why we communicate and list at least six of them.
