Rwy'n Gydymaith Ymchwil ac Arweinydd Cyswllt Data ar gyfer CASCADE, Canolfan Ymchwil a Datblygu Gofal Cymdeithasol Plant ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd. Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n cynnal Cymrodoriaeth Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru tair blynedd sy'n edrych ar ffactorau sy'n gysylltiedig â phlant yn dychwelyd adref o ofal. Rwyf hefyd yn gyd-ymchwilydd prosiect a ariennir gan Nuffield sy'n edrych ar Orchmynion Gwarcheidiaeth Arbennig yng Nghymru.
Rwyf wedi cyfrannu o'r blaen at nifer o brosiectau yn CASCADE yn edrych ar wahanol faterion yn ymwneud â gofal cymdeithasol plant ac roedd yn Brif Ymchwilydd prosiect yn edrych ar y berthynas rhwng ffactorau risg cartrefi a mynediad diweddarach plant i ofal awdurdodau lleol. Roedd fy PhD yn canolbwyntio ar newidiadau yn lles emosiynol rhieni â phlant ifanc sy'n derbyn cefnogaeth ymweld â chartref gan Home-Start.
Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil yn cynnwys gofal cymdeithasol plant a'r system sy'n derbyn gofal, rhianta ac ymyriadau cymorth i deuluoedd, lles emosiynol rhieni, canlyniadau i blant mewn amgylchiadau teuluol anffafriol, dulliau meintiol a gweithio gyda data gweinyddol.

Ymchwil
Ymchwil Cyfredol
Dychwelyd adref o ofal
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n cynnal Cymrodoriaeth Gofal Cymdeithasol Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru tair blynedd ar Dychwelyd adref o ofal. Mae'n archwilio'r ffactorau sy'n gysylltiedig â phlant yn cael eu haduno yn llwyddiannus â'u teuluoedd ar ôl cyfnod mewn gofal. Mae hyn yn cynnwys ymarfer i gefnogi ailuno, yn ogystal â ffactorau sy'n gysylltiedig â'r plentyn, ei rieni a'i ardal leol. Mae hefyd yn edrych i ba raddau y mae newidiadau mewn ailuno yn cyfrif am y cynnydd yn nifer y plant mewn gofal. Mae mwy o wybodaeth ar gael ar wefan CASCADE . Bydd yr astudiaeth yn rhedeg tan fis Tachwedd 2026.
Teuluoedd gwarcheidiaeth arbennig yng Nghymru: Profiadau ac anghenion cymorth
Rwy'n Gyd-ymchwilydd y Prosiect hwn a ariennir gan Nuffield sy'n edrych ar anghenion a phrofiadau cymorth plant a theuluoedd sydd â Gorchmynion Gwarcheidiaeth Arbennig. Rwy'n arwain llinyn cyswllt data'r prosiect, sy'n defnyddio data sydd wedi'i leoli ym Manc Data SSAIL i adeiladu proffil o'r ddau blentyn sy'n derbyn SGOs, a'u gofalwyr. Gweler gwefan CASCADE am fwy o wybodaeth.
Ymchwil blaenorol
Ffactorau risg rhieni a phlant sy'n mynd i mewn i ofal
Fi yw Prif Ymchwilydd y prosiect hwn a ariennir gan Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru sy'n edrych ar y berthynas rhwng ffactorau risg cartrefi a mynediad diweddarach plant i ofal awdurdodau lleol. Defnyddiodd yr astudiaeth ddata a gasglwyd yn rheolaidd gan wasanaethau cymdeithasol yng Nghymru a'i gysylltu â data o iechyd ac addysg i edrych ar yr aelwydydd yr oedd plant yn byw ynddynt cyn iddynt fynd i ofal. Edrychodd ar y ffactorau risg yn yr oedolion sy'n byw yn yr aelwydydd hynny yn ogystal â nodweddion plant. Mae mwy o wybodaeth ar gael ar wefan CASCADE. Cwblhawyd yr astudiaeth ym mis Ionawr 2024.
Rhwng mis Mai 2018 a mis Medi 2020 gweithiais ar ystod o brosiectau a gynhaliwyd ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd CASCADE ar gyfer Beth sy'n Gweithio i Ofal Cymdeithasol Plant. Roedd hyn yn cynnwys cyfrannu at adolygiadau tystiolaeth a nifer o brosiectau ymchwil empirig. Roedd prosiectau ymchwil yn cynnwys:
- Llety diogel, a gwblhawyd ym mis Medi 2020 - Roeddwn yn rhan o'r tîm ymchwil yn ymchwilio i gefndiroedd a chanlyniadau pobl ifanc a gyfeiriwyd at lety diogel yn Lloegr. Defnyddiodd yr astudiaeth setiau data gweinyddol cysylltiedig i gymharu cefndiroedd a chanlyniadau pobl ifanc a roddwyd mewn llety diogel, â'r rhai a gafodd eu cyfeirio ond heb eu gosod. Roedd fy rôl yn canolbwyntio ar ddadansoddi data Plant Mewn Angen, i nodi cysylltiad blaenorol y bobl ifanc â gwasanaethau plant.
- Addysg Uwch Pobl Ifanc â Phrofiad o Ofal, a gwblhawyd Mai 2020 - Roedd y prosiect hwn yn astudiaeth dulliau cymysg a oedd yn ceisio deall y ffactorau sy'n gysylltiedig â phobl ifanc â phrofiad o ofal sy'n gwneud cais am Addysg Uwch a sut y gellir eu cefnogi i wneud hynny. Arweiniais ar gangen feintiol y prosiect, a ddefnyddiodd set ddata'r Camau Nesaf i archwilio sut mae dyheadau pobl ifanc â phrofiad o ofal i wneud cais am Addysg Uwch yn wahanol i'r rhai hynny nad ydynt yn brofiadol mewn gofal a sut mae hyn yn newid dros amser.
- Goruchwylio Canolbwyntio ar Ganlyniadau, Astudiaeth Beilot, Cwblhawyd Ionawr 2020 - Cynhaliwyd yr astudiaeth hon yn Birmingham Children's Trust, ac archwiliodd ddichonoldeb gweithredu a gwerthuso effeithiolrwydd Goruchwyliaeth sy'n Canolbwyntio ar Ganlyniadau mewn gwasanaethau plant. Roedd data'n cael ei gasglu ar dri phwynt amser, gan weithwyr cymdeithasol, a goruchwylwyr gwaith cymdeithasol, gyda data cyfyngedig yn cael ei gasglu gan y teuluoedd maen nhw'n gweithio gyda nhw. Fe wnes i arwain ar y dadansoddiad meintiol ar gyfer yr astudiaeth.
Ymchwil Ddoethurol: Cymorth Ymweld â'r Cartref i Rieni mewn sefyllfaoedd anffafriol, natur cefnogaeth a lles emosiynol rhieni, a gwblhawyd 2018
Archwiliodd fy PhD y berthynas rhwng amgylchiadau teuluol, natur y gefnogaeth a gwelliannau mewn lles emosiynol rhieni ymhlith teuluoedd sy'n derbyn cymorth ymweld â'r cartref. Cafodd ei noddi gan Home-Start UK a'r ESRC. Defnyddiwyd y model Home-Start o gymorth i deuluoedd fel astudiaeth achos a'r ymchwil a gynhaliwyd trwy ddadansoddiad meintiol data gweinyddol Home-Start. Datblygwyd modelau i archwilio newidiadau mewn lles emosiynol dros y cymorth ymhlith teuluoedd mewn amgylchiadau gwahanol a derbyn gwahanol fathau o gefnogaeth.
Bywgraffiad
Ar ôl gradd israddedig mewn Biocemeg, cefais yrfa gynnar yn addysgu gwyddoniaeth ysgolion uwchradd yng Nghaerdydd ac Uganda. Yna treuliais bedair blynedd ar ddeg yn gweithio i'r sefydliad ambarél plant Plant yng Nghymru, mewn rôl bolisi a gwybodaeth cyn dychwelyd i'r byd academaidd. Roedd fy PhD yn canolbwyntio ar gymorth ymweld â chartref a ddarperir i deuluoedd â phlant ifanc gan Home-Start UK. Defnyddiodd ddata gweinyddol Home-Start i edrych ynghylch sut mae sefyllfa teulu a'r ffordd y darperir cymorth, yn gysylltiedig â newidiadau mewn lles emosiynol ymhlith rhieni sy'n derbyn cymorth. Rwyf wedi bod yn gweithio fel Cydymaith Ymchwil yn CASCADE ers mis Mai 2018, gan gyfrannu i ddechrau at ystod eang o brosiectau sy'n cael eu cynnal ar gyfer Beth sy'n Gweithio i Ofal Cymdeithasol Plant. Roeddwn yn Brif Ymchwilydd dwy flynedd, Prosiect a ariennir gan Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru sy'n edrych ar y berthynas rhwng ffactorau risg cartrefi a mynediad diweddarach plant i ofal awdurdodau lleol. Rwyf bellach yn cynnal Cymrodoriaeth Gofal Cymdeithasol Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru tair blynedd sy'n edrych ar y ffactorau sy'n gysylltiedig â phlant sy'n dychwelyd adref o ofal.
