1. Brîff 7 Munud - Chwilfrydedd Proffesiynol Professional Curiosity 7 Minute Briefing

2. 1. BETH YDYW? WHAT IS IT?
Mae angen i bob gweithiwr proffesiynol a ddaw i gysylltiad â phlant, rhieni a gofalwyr yn eu gwaith, fod yn ymwybodol o’u cyfrifoldebau diogelu, ac yn effro i anghenion plant a phobl ifanc ddiamddiffyn. Mae hyn yn gofyn bod gweithwyr proffesiynol yn chwilfrydig ac yn holgar am amgylchiadau a digwyddiadau teuluol, fel y gallant adnabod elfennau diamddiffyn yn effeithiol, a risgiau o niwed posibl neu wirioneddol.
All professionals who come into contact with children, parents and carers in the course of their work need to be aware of their safeguarding responsibilities and alert to the needs of vulnerable children and young people. This requires professionals to be curious and inquisitive about family circumstances and events so that they can effectively identify vulnerabilities and potential or actual risks of harm.

3. 2. BETH YDYW ? WHAT IS IT?
Anaml y mae plant yn datgelu eu bod yn cael eu cam-drin neu eu hesgeuluso i ymarferwyr, ac os ydyn nhw, bydd hyn yn aml drwy ymddygiad neu sylwadau anarferol. Mae hyn yn gwneud y gwaith o adnabod camdriniaeth ac esgeulustod yn anodd i weithwyr proffesiynol ar draws asiantaethau.
Y cam cyntaf i gadw plant yn ddiogel yw bod yn chwilfrydig yn broffesiynol ac i ymgysylltu â phlant a’u teuluoedd ar y cyfle cynharaf, cyn i broblemau waethygu yn argyfwng.
Children rarely disclose abuse and neglect directly to practitioners and, if they do, it will often be through unusual behaviour or comments. This makes identifying abuse and neglect difficult for professionals across agencies.
The first step in keeping children safe is to be professionally curious and to engage with children and their families at the earliest opportunity before problems escalate into crisis.

4. 3. BETH YDYW? WHAT IS IT?
Reviews into child deaths repeatedly highlight the need for practitioners to be alert to the risk of fixed thinking and perceptual bias. Munro (2005b) comments that repeated inquiry reports show the extraordinary lengths to which some abusive parents can go in their efforts to deceive practitioners through disguised compliance and the Daniel Pelka review emphasised the need for professionals to be able to “think the unthinkable” rather than accept parental versions of what is happening at home.
Mae adolygiadau i farwolaethau plant yn tynnu sylw dro ar ôl tro am yr angen i weithwyr proffesiynol fod yn effro i'r risgiau o feddyliau sefydlog a rhagfarn ganfyddiadol. Mae Munro (2005b) yn rhoi sylwadau bod adroddiadau ymchwiliadau ailadroddus yn dangos y camau anhygoel y mae rhai rhieni camdriniol yn eu cymryd i dwyllo ymarferwyr drwy gydymffurfiad cudd, a phwysleisiodd adolygiad Daniel Pelka’r angen i weithwyr proffesiynol allu “meddwl am yr hyn na ellir meddwl amdano” yn hytrach na derbyn fersiynau rhieni o'r hyn sy'n digwydd gartref.

5. 4. CYDNABYDDIAETH 4. RECOGNITION
Chwilfrydedd Proffesiynol – hefyd wedi’i ddisgrifio gan yr Arglwydd Iaming (2003) yn ymchwiliad Victoria Climbié fel “ansicrwydd parchus” – yw’r gallu i archwilio a deall beth sy’n digwydd mewn teulu yn hytrach na gwneud tybiaethau neu dderbyn pethau yn ddi-gwestiwn, gwerthuso unrhyw wybodaeth a ddaw i law yn feirniadol a bod â meddwl agored.
Drwy gael meddwl agored, holgar a chwilfrydig, gall gweithwyr proffesiynol osgoi esboniadau cul a therfynol, drwy archwilio safbwyntiau niferus, amgen mewn sefyllfa.
Professional Curiosity - also described by Lord laming (2003) in the Victoria Climbié inquiry as "respectful uncertainty" - is the capacity to explore and understand what is happening within a family rather than making assumptions or accepting things at face value, ”, applying critical evaluation to any information received and maintaining an open mind.
By acquiring an open minded, inquiring and curious mindset, professionals can avoid linear and absolute explanations by exploring alternative, multiple perspectives on a situation.

6. 5. MATERION ALLWEDDOL 5. KEY ISSUES
Caiff chwilfrydedd proffesiynol ei gefnogi gan
Ddull sy’n canolbwyntio ar y plentyn, gyda’r gallu i greu amgylchedd addas sy’n ddiogel, ac ymddiriedus, lle gellir gwrando ar blant a phobl ifanc
Nodi ac archwilio'r hyn nad ydyw’n cael ei drafod, cymaint â’r hyn sy’n cael ei drafod.
Bod yn agored i safbwyntiau/parodrwydd eraill i geisio ymatebion gwahanol.
Gallu meithrin perthnasoedd agos mewn dull partneriaeth gyda theuluoedd, wrth fod yn gyson ymwybodol o anghenion plant / y graddau y bodlonir eu hanghenion
Sgiliau meddwl yn feirniadol, sensitifrwydd a dyfalbarhad.
Beirniadaethau’n seiliedig ar dystiolaeth nid optimistiaeth.
Professional curiosity is supported by
A child focused approach with an ability to create suitably safe and trusting listening environment for children and young people
Identifying and exploring what is not discussed as much as what is.
An openness to other perspectives/ willingness to try different responses.
An ability to build close partnership style relationships with families whilst being constantly aware of the child’s needs/ degree to which they are met
Critical thinking skills, sensitivity and persistence.
Judgements based on evidence not optimism.

7. 6. SUT I YMATEB 6. HOW TO RESPOND
Ydw i’n parhau i fod yn chwilfrydig a holgar am beth rydw i'n ei weld a'i asesu?
Ydw i’n agored i wybodaeth newydd?
Pa mor hyderus ydw i fod gen i ddigon o wybodaeth i seilio fy mhenderfyniadau arni?
A oes angen i mi ychwanegu “rhybudd iechyd” am rym y dystiolaeth yn yr asesiad/goblygiadau ar gyfer gwneud penderfyniadau?
A fyddwn i’n barod i newid fy meddwl?
Am I remaining curious and inquisitive about what I am seeing and assessing?
Am I open to new information?
How confident am I that I have sufficient information upon which to base my judgements?
Do I need to add a “health warning” about the strength of evidence contained in this assessment/implications for decision making?
Would I be prepared to change my mind ?
