Cydymaith Ymchwil
Trosolwyg
Rwy'n Gymrawd Ymchwil yn CASCADE ac yn arweinydd strategol y ganolfan ar gyfer y maes blaenoriaeth 'Datblygu Arfer Rhagorol. Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar wella canlyniadau i blant a theuluoedd sydd mewn cysylltiad â gwasanaethau cymdeithasol. Rwy'n arbennig o ysgogedig gan ddeall sut y gall perthnasoedd oedolion dibynadwy wneud gwahaniaeth i blant a phobl ifanc yn y system ofal. Mae hyn yn ymestyn y tu hwnt i'm diddordebau ymchwil; Rwy'n ofalwr llety â chymorth ar gyfer pobl ifanc yn eu harddegau sy'n gadael gofal ac yn Ymwelydd Annibynnol.
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n Brif Ymchwilydd ar werthusiad a ariennir gan Lywodraeth Cymru o When I am Ready, ac ar brosiect COMPASS a ariennir gan Arsyllfa Cyfiawnder Teuluol Nuffield. Yn ddiweddar, arweiniais Werthusiad Effaith a Phroses (IPE) o'r Llwybr Cyfranogiad Pobl Ifanc (YPPP) yn y llys teulu ac ar barodrwydd gwerthuso ar gyfer y rhaglen Weekenders, sy'n meithrin perthnasoedd parhaol i bobl ifanc drwy gynnig un penwythnos y mis o gefnogaeth, arweiniad a gweithgareddau hwyliog gyda gofalwr maeth ychwanegol.
Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil yn cynnwys: dulliau cymunedol o gefnogi perthnasoedd gydol oes i blant mewn/gadael gofal, cyfranogiad teuluol mewn achosion llys, a gweithredu a gwerthuso ymyriadau mewn lleoliadau gwaith cymdeithasol statudol. Mae gennyf ddiddordeb hefyd mewn deall beth yw ymarfer gwaith cymdeithasol effeithiol. Fel rhan o hyn, arweiniais ar ddatblygiad cronfa ddata PRISM, storfa o recordiadau ymarfer gwaith cymdeithasol. Rwyf wedi treulio cryn amser fel ymchwilydd mewn Awdurdodau Lleol ledled Cymru a Lloegr, gan roi dealltwriaeth ddofn i mi o gyd-destunau gwaith cymdeithasol statudol.
Mae gen i arbenigedd mewn methodoleg Q, dulliau cymysg o werthuso, a model rhesymeg a theori datblygu newid. Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn datblygu dulliau cadarn o ddadansoddi ansoddol y gellir eu defnyddio mewn gwerthusiadau mewn gofal cymdeithasol plant. Mae fy PhD, astudiaeth achos dulliau cymysg o Ymweld Annibynnol, yn herio dulliau confensiynol o werthuso polisi a chyfrannu at ddeall sut y gall pobl nad ydynt yn broffesiynol gefnogi plant mewn gofal i adeiladu rhwydweithiau cymunedol.
