Ffactorau amgylcheddol sy’n effeithio iechyd, llesiant a datblygiad personol, corfforol, cymdeithasol ac emosiynol plant

Terraced house

Housing and neighbourhood

Access to warm housing which provides a sense of security and privacy with personal space has a positive impact on the health and well-being of children and young people.

Poor quality housing may lead to mental health issues and domestic violence. Children may feel worried and this may also lead to social isolation as people feel they cannot invite others home. Poor housing conditions may lead to poor life chances due to a lack of facilities in the area, for example good schools, social spaces and access to good healthcare.

Homeless people often feel lonely. Many parents/carers are concerned about homelessness. Homeless children do not know where they will be moved to next which causes worry, depression and behavioural issues. They may also experience hyperactivity, aggressive behaviour, and bed wetting or soiling.

Children living in temporary accommodation may be affected by:

  • lack of sleep
  • poor diet
  • accidents
  • infectious diseases.

Their education may suffer as they do not have the space and privacy needed to play and do their homework.

Tai a chymdogaeth

Mae mynediad at dai sy'n gynnes ac sy’n rhoi teimlad o ddiogelwch a phreifatrwydd gyda gofod personol yn cael effaith gadarnhaol ar iechyd a lles plant a phobl ifanc.

Gall tai o ansawdd gwael arwain at broblemau iechyd meddwl a thrais yn y cartref. Gall plant deimlo'n bryderus a gall hefyd arwain at arwahanu cymdeithasol gan fod pobl yn teimlo na allant wahodd pobl eraill i'w cartrefi. Gall amodau tai gwael arwain at gyfleoedd bywyd gwael i blant oherwydd diffyg cyfleusterau yn yr ardal, er enghraifft ysgolion da, gofod cymdeithasol a mynediad at ofal iechyd da.

Mae pobl ddigartref yn aml yn teimlo'n unig. Mae llawer o rieni yn poeni oherwydd digartrefedd. Nid yw plant digartref yn gwybod ble byddant yn cael eu symud nesaf ac mae hyn yn achosi pryder, iselder a phroblemau ymddygiadol. Gallant hefyd brofi gorfywiogrwydd, ymddygiad ymosodol, a gwlychu neu faeddu’u gwelyau.

Gall plant sy'n byw mewn llety dros dro gael eu heffeithio gan:

  • ddiffyg cwsg
  • deiet gwael
  • damweiniau
  • afiechydon heintus.

Gall eu haddysg ddioddef gan nad oes ganddynt y gofod a'r preifatrwydd y mae angen er mwyn iddynt allu chwarae a gwneud gwaith cartref.
