Bywgraffiad
Fi yw Rheolwr Cyfnewid Gwybodaeth a Materion Allanol y Rhwydwaith Ymchwil Iechyd Ysgolion (SHRN). Rwy'n gyfrifol am feithrin cysylltiadau ymchwil strategol, polisi ac ymarfer gyda phartneriaid allweddol, gan gynnwys Llywodraeth Cymru, Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru, Llywodraeth Leol ac ysgolion ledled Cymru. Fy mhrif ffocws yw hyrwyddo datblygiad SHRNN trwy Gyfnewid Gwybodaeth effeithiol, Materion Allanol a Chyfathrebu.
Cyn hynny, roeddwn i'n Bennaeth Gweithrediadau Sefydliad Trydydd Sector y DU, gan arwain rhaglenni gwella cenedlaethol a oedd yn canolbwyntio ar ymarfer yn seiliedig ar dystiolaeth, diogelu a chydgynhyrchu. Chwaraeais ran sylweddol yn y gwaith o ddatblygu cynllun Pan Fydda i'n Barod , Llywodraeth Cymru a'r Fframwaith Maethu Cenedlaethol. Roeddwn hefyd yn aelod o nifer o grwpiau cynghori Llywodraeth Cymru. Roedd y rôl hon yn cynnwys lobïo'r llywodraeth a chreu polisïau a datganiadau sefyllfa wedi'u hymchwilio'n dda i sicrhau cyllid a sbarduno newid i blant bregus, yn enwedig mewn addysg. Rwyf wedi bod yn allweddol wrth weithredu egwyddorion cyd-gynhyrchu mewn gofal cymdeithasol, gan sicrhau bod plant a gofalwyr yn cymryd rhan weithredol wrth ddatblygu a darparu gwasanaethau.
Rwy'n awdur cyhoeddedig ym maes maethu, gan gyfrannu'n sylweddol at ddealltwriaeth academaidd ac ymarferol o'r meysydd hyn. Mae fy nghyhoeddiadau'n cynnwys Men Who Care (2014), Fostering in a Digital World (2021), a Building Relationships Through Storytelling (2012). Cyfrannais bennod hefyd at gyhoeddiad blaenllaw'r sector The Fostering Network, Safer Careing: A New Approach (2013), a chyd-awdur pennod yn The Bloomsbury Handbook of Creative Research Methods (2024). Creais a gwasanaethais fel golygydd ar gyfer cylchgrawn Thrive hirsefydlog The Fostering Network i bobl ifanc (2006-22), gan gwmpasu pob agwedd ar ei ddatblygiad a'i gyhoeddiad. Roeddwn hefyd yn gyfrannwr allweddol i The Skills to Foster, prif gwrs cyn-gymeradwyaeth y DU ar gyfer gofalwyr maeth.
Mae gen i hanes profedig o ysgrifennu ceisiadau ariannu llwyddiannus, sicrhau grantiau gwerth uchel drwy nodi rhagolygon, adeiladu cynigion cadarn, ac argyhoeddi comisiynwyr gyda mewnwelediadau arbenigol ac ymrwymiad cryf i nodau sefydliadol. Rwy'n rhagori mewn datblygu a gweithredu cynlluniau strategol, dylunio rhaglenni gwaith peilot, a sefydlu prosesau, cyflwyno a chynlluniau gweithredu ar gyfer datblygu a phrofi, gyda ffocws penodol ar gomisiynu rhanbarthol a chenedlaethol. Mae ymchwil, dysgu a thystiolaeth yn llywio pob agwedd ar fy ngwaith.
Rwy'n rhan annatod o astudiaethau ymchwil lluosog a gynhaliwyd gan SHRN, DECIPHer a CASCADE, gan gyfrannu at hyrwyddo maes iechyd meddwl a lles plant a phobl ifanc.
Rwyf wedi ymrwymo i egwyddorion cydgynhyrchu, lle mae ymchwilwyr, ymarferwyr a llunwyr polisi, a'r cyhoedd yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd i seilio ymchwil mewn realiti a chynnal persbectif sy'n canolbwyntio ar yr unigolyn.
Ers 2009, rwyf wedi bod yn Lywodraethwr Ysgol, ac yn Is-gadeirydd, mewn lleoliadau arbennig, cynradd ac uwchradd.
