Er gwaethaf llawer o weithredu deddfwriaethol mewn ymateb i ganlyniadau gwahaniaethol, mae anfanteision cymharol o ran addysg, cyflogaeth a hynt bywyd unigolion sydd wedi profi’r system gofal yn parhau’n fater o bryder rhyngwladol eang. Yng Nghymru, mae corff sylweddol o waith wedi’i gynhyrchu ar, a gyda, plant a phobl ifanc sydd wedi profi gofal. Mae’r casgliad golygedig hwn yn ceisio amlygu’r ddealltwriaeth werthfawr hon mewn un gyfrol, gyda chyfraniadau gan ysgolheigion profiadol a gyrfa gynnar sy’n gweithio mewn gwahanol draddodiadau - gan gynnwys addysg, seicoleg, astudiaethau polisi, cymdeithaseg a gwaith cymdeithasol - i gynnig cyfle unigryw i adfyfyrio ar draws ffiniau disgyblaethol a thaflu goleuni newydd ar broblemau a chyfleoedd cyffredin wedi’u hysgogi gan ymchwil ym maes gofal cymdeithasol. Mae’r gyfrol yn cyflwyno amrywiol gyd-destunau a safleoedd - gan gynnwys y cartref, yr ysgol, sefydliadau addysgol amgen, canolfannau cyswllt a’r amgylchedd naturiol - ac yn archwilio’n adfyfyriol y newidiadau a’r elfennau cyson yn nhirwedd wleidyddol a daearyddol Cymru. Mae pob pennod yn cyflwyno dealltwriaeth, adfyfyrio ac argymhellion ar y system gofal a’i heffaith, fydd yn ddefnyddiol i ddarllenwyr ar draws cyd-destunau daearyddol sydd â diddordeb mewn gwella bywydau plant, pobl ifanc a rhwydweithiau teuluol ehangach.
