Ein Côd Ymarfer
Gofynnir i bob arweinydd tîm drafod ein Cod Ymarfer gyda’r tîm. Dylai pob Storïwr gytuno i:
- Gadw at y sgript a chyflwyno’r stori’n syml, gan ddilyn canllawiau Llawlyfr Agor y Llyfr.
- Caniatáu i bob stori siarad drosti ei hun, fel stori o’r Beibl, nid fel pregeth.
- Cysylltu’n agos ac yn sensitif gydag ysgolion, a bod yn ystyriol o gyd-destun ac amgylchedd addysgol yr ysgol.
- Cadw mewn cof eu bod yn wahoddedigion gan wneud y galw lleiaf posibl ar yr ysgol
- Dangos parch a sensitifrwydd tuag at grefyddau eraill, ac at rai sydd heb ffydd.
- Cyflawni’r gofynion diogelu perthnasol fel yr amlinellir y rheini yng Ngweithdrefnau Polisi a Chod Ymarfer Agor y Llyfr.
- Mynychu Hyfforddiant Craidd Agor y Llyfr cyn mynd i ysgol am y tro cyntaf, ac yna mynychu hyfforddiant i adnewyddu sgiliau bob tair blynedd
- Sicrhau presenoldeb aelod o staff yn ystod pob sesiwn adrodd stori
- Cynnal hawlfraint deunydd Agor y Llyfr.
- Diweddaru’r cofnod am y tîm yn rheolaidd gyda Cymdeithas y Beibl
