Dewis is a directory of services which is unlike any other. Dewis was adopted by the City of Cardiff Council following the introduction of the Social Services & Well-being Act in April this year, which places a requirement on all local authorities to provide information, advice and assistance to residents. Dewis has been growing, with over 1000 resources across Cardiff and the Vale, and we are now at a point where we want to launch internally and with partners, share how the system works, why it is different from other directories, and to have an opportunity to network.
It aims to give choice and control back to the citizens.
This is not a public launch; this is intended as an internal launch for partners. Some of you might prefer to attend the Vale roadshow, this is being held on 22nd September. Should you require further information regarding this please contact RWickett@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk

Innovation Fund Framework for the Welsh Government
2016-09-06 13:00 - 16:00
The Welsh Government and Communities for Work (CfW) team will be holding two supplier engagement events to discuss the upcoming Framework opportunity for the Innovation Fund.
CfW has secured European Social Funds (ESF) to deliver employment support services in all 52 Communities First (CF) Clusters in Wales. CfW Specialist Employment Advisers and Mentors work in every Cluster and will identify and engage with NEETS (16-24), the long term unemployed and the economically inactive.
The Framework will commence on the 1st December 2016 and run until 31st December 2017. An option to extend the agreement for a further 1+1 years may be available. The Welsh Government has prepared the Innovation Fund in order to establish a Framework Agreement for the delivery of innovative projects to help engage and support the target beneficiaries of the Communities for Work Operations working closely with teams in each Cluster.
Events will allow the opportunity for potential suppliers to gain an understanding of the operations, the tender process and the help available to suppliers in tendering; but more importantly we anticipate this being an opportunity for both larger organisations and small to medium sized providers to network with one another and undertake discussions regarding potential collaboration. For further information please contact: http://www.sell2wales.gov.uk/ How to register to attend the event: https://www.business-events.org.uk/en/events/innovation-fund-framework-for-the-welsh-government/
