SUMMARY:Shaping Care Together Forum
DESCRIPTION:Forum to promote third sector involvement in adult social care delivery\n\n\n \nSection 16 Forums in Wales are partnership networks established under the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014. In Cardiff the Section 16 Forum is called the Shaping Care Together Forum. The Act requires local authorities\, working with health boards and other partners\, to promote social enterprises\, co-operatives\, user-led services\, and third-sector organisations that provide care\, support\, and preventative services. \nThe forums bring together service providers\, commissioners\, voluntary organisations\, health partners\, and community representatives to develop a shared understanding of priorities and to exchange good practice. Their purpose is to support the growth of a strong social value sector that can contribute to the delivery of health and social care services across Wales. \nAn important principle of the Shaping Care Together Forum is the involvement of citizens in the design and operation of services. Forums therefore support greater participation by service users\, carers\, and communities in shaping local care provision. \nThe Shaping Care Together Forum in Cardiff has been operating since 2024 and meets on a quarterly basis\, with all organisations that are involved in the delivery of adult social care invited to attend. \nFor any further enquiry contact C3SC on 02920 485722 or enquiries@c3sc.org.uk
