This bulletin provides a picture of the wellbeing of people who received care and support, and carers who received support in the last 12 months, and where possible, provides a comparison to the rest of the respondents in the survey (those that had not received any care and support services). Due to the small number of respondents receiving help from care and support services, results are published at a Wales level only. 

This new Strategic Action Plan has been developed in response to what people with autism, their families and carers have said is important to them. We have also worked with a wide range of stakeholders to identify some key priority themes and actions that will make a real difference to the lives of children and adults with autism. The Plan sets out what we have done, what we were told and what we will do. It has three key priority areas:  Awareness raising, information and training;  Assessment and diagnosis; and  Meeting support needs. 

This code provides guidance to the Part 3 of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, setting out a process for assessing the needs of an individual for care and support, or support in the case of a carer; a process of assessment that will apply to all people – children, adults and carers; and a process of review and re-assessment that will apply to assessments.

Sets out the actions required to implement the Welsh Government’s strategy to improve mental well-being of all residents in Wales, during the period 2016-19. It is second of three plans to implement the 10 year strategy. The plan also reflects changes following the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and the principles of Prudent Health and Care, providing a greater emphasis on prevention, integration and long term sustainability. The plan covers 11 priority areas.

This guidance provides a framework for recording and measuring progress against personal outcomes for individuals during the care and support process. It applies to individuals who are eligible for a care and support plan and carers eligible for a support plan under the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014. These personal outcomes should link to the 24 national wellbeing outcomes. This guidance provides information on defining, recording and measuring personal outcomes; information on measuring progress; and dealing with different interpretations of scoring and measuring.

This code of practice sets out the requirements for local authorities in relation to the provisions contained in Part 2 of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014. These cover the general functions of a local authority, including assessment of the needs of a population for social care and other services such as those that promote well-being, and the promotion of social enterprises, co-operatives, user-led services and the third sector.

A consultation on the delivery plan of the Welsh Government’s strategy to improve mental health and well-being, for the period 2016-19. The strategy consists of five chapters and is underpinned by 18 outcomes which are set out in this document. Strategy outcomes and delivery plan priority areas have been mapped against the goals of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act (2015).

This study provides qualitative evidence on the views of service users, their carers and practitioners on the implementation of Part 3 of the Mental Health (Wales) Measure 2010. This part of the Measure is concerned with assessments of former users of secondary mental health services and enables individuals, who have previously been in receipt of secondary mental health services, to refer themselves directly back to secondary services for assessment.

Opinion Research Services (ORS) was commissioned by Welsh Government in June 2013 to undertake qualitative research to support the Duty to Review the Mental Health (Wales) Measure 2010.

1.2 Information and data are gathered by Welsh Government from a range of sources to inform the Review including this study, regular submissions from health board/local authority services, health board primary care satisfaction surveys and third sector surveys. Welsh Government is responsible for coordinating all inputs to the Review and for final reporting to Welsh Ministers.

Provides guidance to the Part 4 of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, focusing on eligibility, care planning and direct payments. In particular, the code determines the point at which an individual will have an enforceable right to support from the local authority and the authority has a legal duty to provide or arrange care and support; sets eligibility criteria that will apply to all people – children, adults and carers; sets out the requirements of a care and support plan; and sets out the circumstances required by a local authority when making direct payments.
