The summit is aimed at strategic decision-makers – Leaders, Chief Executives and those at Director level.  Applications for those of a lower grade to attend will be considered by exception.

The Future Generations Act requires devolved public bodies to work ever more closely together and for both the Commissioner and the Chief Constable to be invited to join the new Public Service Board.  Even though we are not directly required to comply, we are keen to be involved and to be “early adopters” of the goals set out in the Act.  We believe that it will be mutually beneficial for South Wales Police to be fully engaged from the start and to support you and other partners in achieving the wellbeing of all our communities.

The UK Government’s ongoing programme of austerity means that all public services need to “shrink together, not shrink apart” and to do what we can to intervene early to prevent more costly interventions at a later stage, and to make prompt and timely interventions as soon as we have identified a problem.

That means we want to plan in a way that supports you and our other partners in dealing with the issues our communities face rather than just tackling those issues that affect us directly. We already have some excellent examples of where we have worked together to achieve this.

We would like to invite you to our South Wales Early Intervention Summit to explore the ways in which we can work together to achieve this.
