Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

Councillor Jones introduced the item and explained that the Statutory Director of Social Services was required to produce an annual report summarising their view of the local authority’s social care functions and priorities for improvement as legislated in the Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014 and the Regulations and Inspections Act (Wales) 2015.

The purpose of the Social Services Annual Report was to set out the improvement journey and evaluate Social Services’ performance in providing services to people that promoted their wellbeing and supported them to achieve their personal outcomes.

            The Chief Officer (Social Services) added that the report was intended to provide the public, the regulator and wider stakeholders with an honest picture of services in Flintshire and to demonstrate a clear understanding of the strengths and challenges faced.  He commented on the successes of Project Search, Ty Nyth, Marleyfield House and Glan Y Morfa.

RESOLVED:

That the Social Services Annual Report be noted, including the key developments of the past year and priorities for next year.
