Glamorgan Voluntary Services (GVS) is working in partnership with the Vale of Glamorgan Council to coordinate a workshop event to raise awareness of the implications of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014. The Act will be implemented from April 2016, fundamentally changing the way social services work in Wales.

Whilst we don’t yet have all the answers as the second tranche of public consultation on the codes, regulation and guidance is still out for consultation, this workshop will bring you up to date and give you the opportunity to raise any queries you may have about the impact of the Act on the work you do.

You can choose to attend either the morning or afternoon session. Places are limited, so please book your place as soon as possible.

Delegates will attend all workshops and each workshop will last no longer than 30 minutes.

The workshops are:

• Community and Well-being outcomes, prevention and early intervention
• Assessing and Meeting the needs of individuals
• Either Care and Support Services for Adults, or Care and Support Services for Children
• Working in Partnership

The event will be of interest to you if you are work in the Local Authority or University Health Board in the Vale of Glamorgan or are a Third Sector or independent provider of services.

Please book by Friday 3rd July by calling 01446 741706 or emailing ceri@valecvs.org.uk
