Pa gamau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd i sicrhau bod y bobl sy'n gwneud penderfyniadau ar geisiadau am fathodynnau glas yn cael yr hyfforddiant priodol i sicrhau bod penderfyniadau cyson yn cael eu gwneud ledled Cymru?
Local authorities are legally responsible for the day-to-day administration and enforcement of the Blue Badge Scheme. The Welsh Government has issued guidance to local authorities which recommends that they have clear desk instructions in place and that staff dealing with applications should attend the local authority’s disability and equality awareness training programme, which should include information on the social model of disability.
WG also fund the Independent Advisory Service (IAS) on blue badge, who specialise in functional mobility and provide advice and independent assessments if requested by local authorities.
To encourage consistency in decision making WG has issued a verification toolkit to local authorities across Wales, with good practice being shared through the local authority blue badge workgroup and through workshops with the IAS for those carrying out blue badge assessments.
