For every role created within the health and social care sector, a job description will be created for their role. This will explain to the health and social care workers what their main duties, roles, responsibilities and accountabilities are and who they will need to report to. If a copy has not been provided for them, they should ask their employer to provide one for them. They should be aware of what is expected of them but should be aware of duties that are not included in their specific role.
Ar gyfer pob rôl a gaiff ei chreu yn y sector iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, caiff disgrifiad swydd ei greu ar gyfer y rôl honno. Bydd yn egluro i'r gweithwyr iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol beth yw eu prif ddyletswyddau, rolau, cyfrifoldebau ac atebolrwyddau a phwy y byddant yn atebol iddynt. Os na fyddant wedi cael copi, dylent ofyn i'w cyflogwr roi copi iddynt. Dylent fod yn ymwybodol o'r hyn a ddisgwylir ganddynt ond dylent fod yn ymwybodol o'r dyletswyddau nad ydynt yn rhan o'u rôl benodol.
Ways of working in health and social care settings are described in an organisation’s written policies and procedures, and in records such as care and support plans that have been agreed by all concerned and that allow needs to be met more flexibly. They are based on legislation, standards and professional body codes of practice. Workers are required to follow these ways of working to promote and maintain the health, safety and well-being of everyone in the workplace.
Ensuring that individuals are properly cared for when they access health and social care services requires the application of legislation, standards and codes of conduct and professional practice. This ensures individuals are given the best possible service.
The Code of Professional Practice for Social Care describes the standards of professional conduct and practice required of health and social care workers in Wales. The Code plays a key part in raising awareness of these standards. The Code promotes the values that underpin social care and support and seeks to embed them within working practice.
Individuals who access services, carers and family members need to know about the Code. The provision of safe care and support is everyone’s responsibility, not just health and social care workers and it is important that individuals in Wales know what to expect of social care workers.

Caiff ffyrdd o weithio mewn lleoliadau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol eu disgrifio fel rhan o bolisïau a gweithdrefnau ysgrifenedig sefydliad, megis cynlluniau gofal a chymorth, ac mewn cofnodion y cytunwyd arnynt gan bawb dan sylw ac sy'n golygu y gellir diwallu anghenion mewn ffordd fwy hyblyg. Maent yn seiliedig ar ddeddfwriaeth, safonau a chodau ymarfer cyrff proffesiynol. Mae'n ofynnol i weithwyr ddilyn y ffyrdd hyn o weithio er mwyn hyrwyddo a chynnal iechyd, diogelwch a llesiant pawb yn y gweithle.
Er mwyn sicrhau bod unigolion yn cael gofal priodol pan fyddant yn defnyddio gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, mae angen cymhwyso deddfwriaeth, safonau a chodau ymddygiad ac ymarfer proffesiynol. Mae hyn yn sicrhau bod unigolion yn cael y gwasanaeth gorau posibl.
Mae'r Cod Ymarfer Proffesiynol ar gyfer Gofal Cymdeithasol yn disgrifio'r safonau ymddygiad a'r ymarfer proffesiynol sy'n ofynnol gan weithwyr iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru. Mae'r Cod yn chwarae rhan allweddol wrth godi ymwybyddiaeth o'r safonau hyn. Mae'r Cod yn hyrwyddo'r gwerthoedd sy'n sail i ofal a chymorth cymdeithasol ac yn ceisio eu cynnwys o fewn ymarfer gweithio.
Mae angen i unigolion sy'n defnyddio gwasanaethau, eu gofalwyr ac aelodau o'u teuluoedd wybod am y Cod. Mae cyfrifoldeb ar bawb i ddarparu gofal a chymorth diogel, nid dim ond gweithwyr iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol ac mae'n bwysig bod unigolion yng Nghymru yn gwybod beth i'w ddisgwyl gan weithwyr gofal cymdeithasol.

The Code of Practice for Employers is underpinned by a Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers which details the standards individuals must comply with. Both Codes support the basic principles of safety and public protection and should underpin the day to day working practices of NHS Wales.
Employers are required to develop and implement systems and processes to support Healthcare Support Workers to achieve the standards set out in the Code of Conduct.

The Practice Guidance for Residential Child Care for Workers Registered with Social Care Wales also provides advice to help staff to support positive outcomes for children and young individuals. The guidance can also be used by employers to review procedures in relation to ensuring a professional and safe service. Sections in the guidance cover child-centred care and support, good residential child care practice, safeguarding individuals, health and safety, professional development, learning culture and contributing to the development of others and contributing to the service, including raising concerns. The guidance leads on from the ‘Code of professional practice for social care’. Failing to follow the guidance could put a worker’s registration at risk.
