Bydd angen i’r bobl hyn wneud cais i’r Cynllun Preswylio’n Sefydlog i Ddinasyddion yr UE er mwyn sicrhau statws mewnfudo newydd yn y DU cyn bod yr hawliau preswylio o dan y fframwaith rhyddid i symud yn cael eu diddymu. Mae’r Cynllun Preswylio’n Sefydlog i Ddinasyddion yr UE yn her weinyddol i Lywodraeth y DU. Mae’n golygu prosesu miliynau o geisiadau o fewn cyfnod cymharol fyr o amser ac mae’n dibynnu ar unigolion i wneud cais i’r Cynllun. Bydd y sesiwn hon yn edrych ar y materion sy’n wynebu unigolion sy’n gwneud cais i’r Cynllun o gymunedau yng Nghymru, yn enwedig y rhai sy’n debygol o wynebu anawsterau o ran gwneud ceisiadau llwyddiannus.

Byddwn yn gofyn yn benodol am farn a chyfraniad darparwyr cymorth cyfreithiol presennol yng Nghymru.

Penderfynu ar gyfraith gyhoeddus yng Nghymru Mae nifer cynyddol o ddyletswyddau ar gyrff cyhoeddus yng Nghymru yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol iddynt ‘ystyried’, ‘rhoi sylw dyledus i’ neu ‘gymryd pob cam rhesymol’ i warchod gwahanol hawliau a buddiannau. Fodd bynnag, ychydig iawn, os oes unrhyw rai o gwbl, o’r dyletswyddau hyn sy’n rhoi hawliau penodol i iawn i unigolion. Bydd ein panel yn trafod a all y dyletswyddau hyn mewn gwirionedd arwain at well penderfyniadau yn niffyg hawliau unigol o’r fath, a’r berthynas rhwng hyn a mynediad at gyfiawnder yng nghyfraith gyhoeddus Cymru.

Dr Huw Pritchard, Cardiff University Dr Joe Tomlinson, Public Law Project and Kings College London 12.30 Brexit and Immigration: The EU Settlement Scheme and Vulnerable Communities in Wales There are around 80 000 EU citizens living in Wales as a function of the free movement rules. These people will need to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to secure a new immigration status in the UK before the rights of residence under the free movement framework are extinguished. The EU Settlement Scheme is a challenging administrative undertaking for the UK Government. It requires the processing of millions of applications within a relatively short period of time and relies on individuals making applications to the Scheme. This session will look at the issues being faced by individuals applying to the Scheme from communities in Wales, especially by those likely to face difficulties in making successful applications.

Public law decision making in Wales An increasing number of duties on public bodies in Wales require them to ‘take into account’, to ‘have due regard’ to or to ‘take all reasonable steps’ to protect various rights and interests. However, few, if any, of these duties give rise to specific rights of redress for individuals. Our panel discusses whether these duties can really lead to better decision-making in the absence of such individual rights, and how this relates to access to justice in Welsh public law.
