Mae'n rhaid cyflwyno Cwestiynau Ysgrifenedig bum diwrnod gwaith o leiaf cyn y maent i gael eu hateb.  Yn ymarferol, bydd Gweinidogion yn ceisio ateb o fewn saith neu wyth diwrnod ond nid oes rheidrwydd arnynt i wneud hynny. Cyhoeddir yr atebion unwaith iddynt gael eu derbyn yn yr iaith y'u cyflwynir ynddi, gyda chyfieithiad i'r Saesneg o ymatebion a roddir yn y Gymraeg.

Gofyn i'r Gweinidog Addysg a Sgiliau

Darren Millar (Gorllewin Clwyd): A wnaiff y Gweinidog egluro'r rhesymeg dros eithrio gofyniad i Gyrfa Cymru wneud darpariaeth ar gyfer fetio lleoliadau profiad gwaith o safbwynt iechyd a diogelwch o fis Medi 2015 ymlaen? (WAQ69982)

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 15 Mawrth 2016

Gweinidog Addysg a Sgiliau (Huw Lewis): As directed by the Welsh Government in the 2015-16 Remit Letter issued to Career Wales in December 2014, the company ceased providing a National Work Experience Database service, and related health and safety checks, to all Local Authorities in September 2015.  

Two factors drove this decision. First, it is fully the responsibility of schools to secure delivery of the Careers and the World of Work curriculum framework, including any related experiences of the world of work. In light of the budget pressures faced by Careers Wales it was decided that it was no longer appropriate to expect the company to carry these costs on behalf of schools. The employer/business has the primary duty for Health and Safety on its premises and for its staff and customers (which includes the pupil on placement) and the HSE guidance says that school should carry out reasonable checks.

Second, given that it is a schools responsibility to secure delivery of the Careers and the World of Work curriculum, it is reasonable to expect schools to undertake the appropriate checks on work experience placements.

The remit letter can be found at: http://gov.wales/topics/educationandskills/pathways/careers/?lang=en

Following this change to the remit Julie James AM, Deputy Minister for Skills and Technology, wrote to all secondary Head Teachers in Wales in February 2015 setting out the changes and the duties on schools going forward.
