About us
The Cardiff and Vale Regional Partnership Board was established by the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 to ensure local health boards, local authorities and the third sector work together to deliver services, care and support that meets the needs of people who live in Cardiff and Vale. We carry out regular Population Needs Assessments to make sure people get the right support, at the right time, in the right place.
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE REGIONAL PARTNERSHIP BOARD (RPB) IS TO ENSURE PARTNERSHIP BODIES WORK EFFECTIVELY TOGETHER
Population Needs Assessment
We use the Population Needs Assessment to make sure care, support and preventative services across the region meet the needs of people living in Cardiff and the Vale;
Ensure partnership bodies provide sufficient resources for the partnership arrangements;
Promote the establishment of pooled budgets where appropriate;
Integrate services for:
- Older People with complex needs and long term conditions, including dementia
- People with learning disabilities
- Carers, including young carers
- Family Support Services
- Children with complex needs due to disability or illness

Terms of Reference
The Terms of Reference set out what the RPB will focus on and how partners will work together.
The terms will be reviewed on an annual basis.
Governance Structure
The Partnership (with support from a Strategic Leadership Group) provides the governance arrangements for overseeing the work of the Partnership. They ensure that delivery arrangements are in place to enable effective implementation of the Social Services and Well-being Act on a regional basis.
Progress monitoring against this Regional Work Programme is reported to the Board and the Senior Leadership Group for action as required.
The Board is primarily responsible for overseeing delivery against the identified priorities, which include:
- Planning & Promoting Preventative Services (including preparation of the Population Needs Assessment)
- Locality Working (including the preparation of Area Plans).
- Home First and Patient Flow.
- Integration (in line with Part 9 of the Social Services Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 – older people; people with learning disabilities; carers; Integrated Family Support Services; and children with complex needs due to disability or illness).
- Joint Commissioning (prioritising the establishment of pooled funds for care accommodation for older people, family support services and functions that will be exercised jointly as a result of the Population Needs Assessment).

AGEING WELL
We know how hard it can be to find help when people need it the most. We want to make sure there is community support to help people stay as healthy as possible so they can carry on doing the things that matter most to them.
