A one-day Children in Wales course
The Social Services and Wellbeing Act (Wales) 2014 came into force on 6th April this year and places a new focus on services supporting the well-being outcomes of the people they are working with. The term ‘wellbeing’ is used to refer to the quality of people’s lives, and covers both subjective and objective aspects. Subjective well-being focuses on soft outcomes such as how people are feeling and how they perceive their lives and personal goals. Objective well-being focuses on the conditions which affect those feelings such as health or education which are easier to measure in hard outcomes. Both of these perspectives are valuable for understanding children’s well-being.
