If you want the opportunity to have your say about what is important to you and your community and about health and social care services then look out for details of how you can have your say soon and ‘Let’s talk’.
Partners from the public and voluntary sectors in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan are working together to find out more about what matters to residents and what affects their well-being.
They have joined forces under the banner ‘Let’s talk’ and want to talk to as many people as possible about their well-being and quality of life. They want to find out how people feel about the local environment, and what advice and support people need to maintain and improve their wellbeing. This will include information, support and services provided by individuals, communities and the public and voluntary sectors in the area.
Partners, including the police, fire service, University Health Board, local authorities, third sector, National Probation Service, Wales Community Rehabilitation Company and Natural Resources Wales are working together to understand what is important to local communities. This work is being undertaken through the new Public Services Boards in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan and the Cardiff and Vale Integrated Health and Social Care Partnership. The work is part of new duties placed on public services under the Well-being of Future Generations Act and the Social Services and Well-being Act.
Over the next few months there will be lots of opportunities for people to get involved and participate in Let’s talk. Focus groups will be held across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan and a number of surveys will be launched as part of Let’s talk.
The information gathered will help inform what will be done in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan to improve well-being, advice and support, and achieve the seven national well-being goals.
Let’s talk gives everyone a chance to have their say and help shape local services.
