WEBINAR POVERTY SERIES: Session 2
Find out how you can take simple steps to adopting a whole-school approach to poverty-proofing your setting, to ensure that the cost of the school day does not cause barriers to learning and wellbeing for pupils from low income and disadvantaged families. (Children in Wales | Price of Pupil Poverty).
The webinar will provide an opportunity for schools and other settings to gain information, understand the impact poverty has on the everyday school lives of pupils, and provide possible solutions on how to poverty-proof and make a difference.
Sadly as a result of the pandemic, we are seeing a growth in the detrimental impact of poverty on pupils' wellbeing, and increasing financial pressures on families. The Price of Pupil Poverty Guides can be a used as a tool to help mitigate the impact.

CYFRES O WEMINARAU TLODI: Sesiwn 2
Ymunwch â ni ar gyfer sesiwn cynyddu ymwybyddiaeth ar y Canllawiau Pris Tlodi Disgyblion (Plant yng Nghymru | Pris Tlodi Disgyblion).
Dewch i ddysgu sut gallwch chi gymryd camau syml at fabwysiadu dull gweithredu ysgol gyfan a fydd yn golygu bod eich lleoliad yn cymryd tlodi i ystyriaeth, er mwyn sicrhau nad yw cost y diwrnod ysgol yn creu rhwystrau i ddysgu a llesiant disgyblion o deuluoedd incwm isel a difreintiedig.
Bydd y gweminar yn gyfle i ysgolion a lleoliadau eraill gasglu gwybodaeth, deall effaith tlodi ar fywydau disgyblion yn yr ysgol bob dydd, a darparu atebion posibl ar gyfer cymryd tlodi i ystyriaeth a gwneud gwahaniaeth.
Gwaetha’r modd, oherwydd y pandemig, rydyn ni’n gweld cynnydd yn effaith niweidiol tlodi ar lesiant disgyblion, a phwysau ariannol cynyddol ar deuluoedd. Mae modd defnyddio’r Canllawiau Pris Tlodi Disgyblion yn offeryn i helpu i liniaru’r effaith.
