• Be better able to assess the needs that address the Gypsy, Roma, Traveller communities in Wales
Aims
To increase awareness about the cultural diversity in the UK, to address issues and the needs of Gypsy, Roma, Travellers in the UK, to inspire and improve the services and provision delivered to GRT communities, and to generate trust and understanding between GRT communities and local authority service providers.
Learning Objectives
• To achieve a broader and more comprehensive understanding of the complex needs of Romani and Traveller communities, from a local and international perspective;
• To develop a level of knowledge that will enhance and inform staff and officers’ work, related to health, education, housing and accommodation, training, justice and law enforcement;
• To introduce knowledge regarding the differences between Romani and Traveller communities and their cultures, languages and origins, insofar as is useful to participants in the training, with the aim of inspiring best practice and improving service delivery across all sectors;
• To introduce to participants, examples of community members who are role models and who can challenge the prevailing stereotypes of Romani and Travellers, or the negative images of ‘Gypsies’, present in media and popular press;
Outcomes
By the end the session participants will have:
• Increased their knowledge of the culture, traditions and history of the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities (this includes a timeline of key historical events and legislation);
• Developed an understanding of diversity within the Romani and Traveller communities (that is, who are Gypsies, Roma and Travellers?);
• Increased their awareness regarding the prejudice and discrimination faced by Romani and Traveller communities in Wales, the UK and more widely across the Europe;
• Identified obstacles to access and attitudinal issues, or barriers in services such as housing, accommodation, education, health, employment, safeguarding and other public services, that inhibit the delivery of quality provision to GRT communities;
• Improved participants’ understandings of how to engage effectively with the Romani and Traveller communities, particularly over issues of exclusion and marginalisation, and what they can do to address these and ensure inclusion in the delivery of services;
• Developed an Action Plan that will put their learning into practice, in the workplace;
• Established a baseline of knowledge and support that can be accessed to assist officers in carrying out their statutory duties.
General Information
The Romani Cultural Arts Company is the leading Romani and Traveller community-based organisation in Wales, using the arts and culture as a vehicle for advocacy, education and empowerment, amongst the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) communities and the wider society in Wales. RCAC also supports individuals to become “Community Champions”, as actors and agents of change in their own communities, making a difference for themselves and the wider society. RCAC is managed by a Board (voluntary management committee) made up of representatives from the GRT communities, meaning that community members have a role as decision-makers and are part of the process of shaping the advocacy and rights agenda that RCAC promotes.
The Company believes it is essential that the GRT communities be at the forefront of social progress and positive developments in social inclusion, in the struggle or the recognition of GRT rights and promoting inter-cultural understanding. Within Wales and increasingly across the UK, our advice and expertise is sought by local governments, policy-makers, decision-takers and local or national institutions. We are asked to evaluate the effectiveness of their policies and strategies or to support them in consultation to ensure the voice of the GRT communities they serve, is heard.
We lead on advocacy for these vulnerable communities, influencing the policy and strategy agendas in the context of a devolved Welsh Government and, increasingly internationally across the UK, and we deliver quality training for those who work with Gypsy, Roma, Traveller communities, who wish to improve their reach and their impact.

What proposals should be made in the next UK White Paper on social security (welfare benefits)?
2019-07-12 01:00 - 16:00
What proposals should be made in the next UK White Paper on social security (welfare benefits)?
Workshop: Friday 12 July 2019 1pm-4pm
Venue: University of Cardiff
Organisers: Michael Orton (University of Warwick) and Kate Summers (London School of Economics)
Background
The social security/welfare benefits system is failing, with foodbanks and homelessness just two of the most visible signs of this.
But there is little agreement, even within civil society, on ways forward.
The workshop
This workshop is one of more than a dozen being held in different parts of the UK to stimulate thinking about the future of social security/welfare benefits, and provide the opportunity for discussion and collaboration among attendees.
In particular, the workshop will input to a project called the Commission on Social Security (welfare benefits), led by Experts by Experience which has issued a Call for Solutions.
The Commission is highly innovative in that all the Commissioners are people with experience of claiming benefits. The Commission’s aim is to produce a White Paper style document setting out a better system and building consensus. The Call for Solutions includes questions such as the following.

What steps can be taken to make Universal Credit better or if you think it should be scrapped, what would replace it?
How can people who are sick or disabled be better supported and how should the system work out who should get sickness or disability benefits?
Should there be a minimum income level below which no one can fall and if so, how could this be done?
How should benefit rates be worked out and how much should each benefit be?

Workshop participants will also be welcome to identify solutions on the whole range of issues relevant to social security/welfare benefits. For example, sanctions, Child Benefit, Local Welfare Assistance Schemes, National Insurance contributory benefits, support for housing costs and council tax, individual/household assessments and payments, how increased spending on benefits can be financed, the balance between means-testing or being contributions-based and reflecting people’s particular needs or being universal? etc.
Workshop format
The workshop will have a participatory format including small group work and consensus building activities.
It will be structured around the Call for Solutions being made by the Commission on Social Security led by Experts by Experience but will also identify other possible activity.
Who should attend?
Anyone interested in a better social security/welfare benefits system! Whether you are an individual Expert by Experience, part of a user-led or community group, from a third sector organisation, academia or anywhere else, you will be made very welcome.

Dear Ms Hendrickson-Brown
I am writing to remind you of your invitation to the above seminar, which will examine the future for cancer care in Wales, with the https://gov.wales/topics/health/nhswales/plans/cancer-plan/?lang=en“>Wales Cancer Delivery Plan due to conclude next year.
Taking place at an important stage in the delivery of the Plan itself, delegates will examine the lessons learnt from its implementation.
The conference also discusses the introduction of the Single Suspected Cancer Pathway – which aims to ensure all patients begin treatment within 62 days of the point of suspicion.
As we expect discussion relevant to charities – with keynote addresses from Professor Tom Crosby, Medical Director, Wales Cancer Network; Andy Glyde, Public Affairs Manager, Cancer Research UK and Dr Lee Campbell, Scientific Projects and Communications Manager, Cancer Research Wales – we thought this might be of interest.
Next steps for Wales Cancer Delivery Plan and policy going forward
Delegates will assess the options for policy post-2020, with discussion expected on the potential development of a new plan and integration into wider policy documents such as https://gov.wales/topics/health/publications/healthier-wales/?lang=en“>Healthier Wales.
Issues for consideration include how any strategy can support improvement in treatment, care and resource-efficiency looking at approaches such as better use of data, diagnostic screening and biosimilars, as well as how services can be aligned with the latest research and the provision of a holistic approach to care.
Further sessions look forward to implementation of the Delivery Plan in the remainder of its timeframe, and opportunities for it to be refreshed and refined to bring it into line with latest thinking.
Implementation of the Single Suspected Cancer Pathway
Delegates will also look at the implementation of the Single Suspected Cancer Pathway as it begins, looking at the priorities for diagnostic services, patient involvement, seamless movement through the pathway, the role of research, and optimising performance.
We expect key discussion on how to understand what the new measurement means, how the new waiting time targets will be used to evaluate and improve performance, and whether it will lead to more early stage diagnoses.
Workforce capabilities and infrastructure development
Attendees will consider workforce capabilities, especially around diagnostic gaps, and the potential impact of training non-specialists and approaches to improving triage to help plug these gaps. It comes as the recent workforce report from the Royal College of Radiologists highlights the falling numbers of clinical oncologists, with Wales being especially adversely affected.
IT, patient data and wider infrastructure needs
They will look at improving IT services and the interfaces between primary and secondary care – looking at digitisation of patient data, seeking to ensure effective collaboration and a seamless system for patients – as well as the broader infrastructure needed to meet the waiting times goal.
Public health and awareness
Further sessions focus on early diagnosis, prevention and public health policy including options for achieving a better understanding of health-seeking behaviours – as well as for improving self-reporting of symptoms and reaching out to forgotten and hidden groups with appropriate targeting of awareness strategies.
The agenda also considers the role of longer term health strategies, especially around obesity, exercise and smoking, to create a culture change that will reduce incidents of cancer.
The agenda in summary

Lessons learnt from the Cancer Delivery Plan and where to go next;
Ensuring cancer policy is aligned with the most up to date research;
Next steps for the Cancer Delivery Plan – improving treatments, meeting needs and looking forward to 2020;
The role of prevention and early diagnosis in reducing cancer deaths;
Designing and delivering cancer pathways – co-production and the role of research; and
Delivering the Single Suspected Cancer Pathway – providing the resources and leadership to meet the new waiting times.

The agenda has been structured following consultation with key stakeholders. The draft agenda is copied below my signature, and a regularly updated version is available to download here. The seminar is organised on the basis of strict impartiality by the Policy Forum for Wales. Follow us @PFWEvents for live updates.

Age Alliance Wales Annual Conference 2019: Access All Areas?
2019-07-16 09:30 - 15:00
Age Alliance Wales Annual Conference 2019
Access All Areas?
16th July 2019, Future Inns, Cardiff Bay
9.30am – 3:00pm
(Registration from 9.00am)
Age Alliance Wales members have, over past years, identified numerous difficulties faced by older people and their carers when attempting to access a range of services, including Local Authorities’ Social Services andGP appointments.

Alliance members have carried out extensive research into these matters, and assisted others in their aims to do so, resulting in a substantial body of evidence within a wide range of reports. The conference will consider the findings of some of this work, helping to set out the future direction of the Alliance and its members.

Guest speakers include Matt Jenkins of the Welsh Government’s Social Services & Integration Directorate, Dr. Victoria Winckler of the Bevan Foundation, Nick Selwyn & Euros Lake of the Wales Audit Office, and Katie Cooke of the “Measuring the Mountain” programme. Presentations will also be made by members of Age Alliance Wales, including Carers Wales and Action on Hearing Loss.

What could economic justice mean for Wales?
2019-07-18 17:30 - 20:00
The UK economy is not working. It is no longer delivering rising standards for a majority of the population. Too many people are in insecure jobs; young people are set to be poorer than their parents; the nations and regions of the UK are diverging further.
The IPPR Commission on Economic Justice was established in 2016 in the wake of the vote to leave the EU to examine the challenges facing the UK economy and to make recommendations for reform. Its final report Prosperity and Justice: A Plan for the New Economy, published in September 2018, made the case for a radical overhaul of our economy.
IPPR is now delighted to invite people to take part in an interactive event dedicated to exploring paths to economic justice in Wales. Mark Drakeford AM, First Minister of Wales, will be joined by community leaders, business and trade union representatives to respond to your questions and thoughts on the fairness and prosperity of the nation’s economy.
This event is open to all and will take place on Thursday 18th July, 17:30-20:00 at The Temple of Peace, King Edward VII Ave, Cardiff CF10 3AP. The event will open with refreshments at 17:30, with speeches beginning at 18:00. It will then finish with further refreshments between 19:30-20:00.
Confirmed speakers include:
Rt Hon Mark Drakeford AM, First Minister of Wales
Tom Kibasi, Director, IPPR and Chair of the Commission on Economic Justice
