Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendations.

Councillor Christine Jones provided details of the Act which provided a legal framework for improving the well-being of people who needed care and support, and their carers, and would play a critical role in transforming how services were delivered over the next two years.

            The process of implementation would take a phased approach which would be built on a foundation of training and cultural development.  Flintshire was working collaboratively to support the development and implementation of regional training plans which were aligned to the national learning and development strategy.  Sound progress was being made in transforming and modernising services in preparation for the delivery of the Act, building key mechanisms into practices and processes which centered on the key principles of the Act. 

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the Council’s preparation and response to the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 be approved; and

(b)       That a further report be submitted to Cabinet in 6 months to report on the progress to implement actions in response to the Act.
