Dywedodd: “Llongyfarchiadau i’r holl dimau ac arweinwyr yng Ngrŵp Llandrillo Menai a gyfrannodd at gwblhau Arweinwyr mewn Amrywiaeth yn llwyddiannus – nhw sy’n arwain y blaen.

“Dangosodd y coleg dystiolaeth glir o’i brosesau a llwyddodd i ennill calonnau a meddyliau’r timau a newid ymddygiad. Mae hyn yn cyfleu hanfod ein hachrediad ac mae cyflawniad y coleg yn ysbrydoledig.

“Mae Grŵp Llandrillo Menai yn un o ddim ond 80 o sefydliadau i ennill yr achrediad mawreddog.”

Mae'r wobr yn cydnabod y camau a gymerwyd gan y Grŵp wrth weithredu gwerthoedd FREDIE (tegwch, parch, cydraddoldeb, amrywiaeth, cynhwysiant ac ymgysylltiad).

Meddai Mr Chaudhry: “Roedd y gwaith a wnaed dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf i ennill yr achrediad yn cynnwys cwblhau arolwg o agweddau'r holl staff a rheolwyr yn ogystal â rhai o'i gyflenwyr.

“Rydym i gyd yn gwybod nad yw FREDIE yn ymwneud â gwneud y peth iawn yn unig - mae bellach yn bwnc sy'n denu a dal diddordeb myfyrwyr a staff y coleg.

He said: “Congratulations to all the teams and leaders at Grŵp Llandrillo Menai who contributed to the successful completion of Leaders in Diversity - they are leading lights.

“The college clearly evidenced its processes and was able to win the hearts and minds of the teams and change behaviours. This captures the essence behind our accreditation and the college’s achievement is inspirational.

“Grŵp Llandrillo Menai is one of only 80 organisations to be given the prestigious accreditation.”

The award recognises the strides made by the Grŵp in implementing the values of FREDIE (fairness, respect, equality, diversity, inclusion and engagement).

Mr Chaudhry said: “Working towards gaining the assessment over the past year involved a survey of the attitudes of all of the staff and managers and included some of its suppliers.

“We all know that FREDIE is not just about doing the right thing - it is now a compelling subject for students and college staff.
