To tackle these we need to work together. To give current and future generations a good quality of life we need to think about the long term impact of the decisions we make. 1.1.2 The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 gives a legally-binding common purpose – the seven well-being goals – for national government, local government, local health boards and other specified public bodies. It details the ways in which specified public bodies must work, and work together to improve the well-being of Wales 1.1.3 The Act states that an Assessment of Local Wellbeing must be produced to support these public bodies in the setting of wellbeing objectives and in the production of any plans set in motion to improve the wellbeing of the people who live in their area. This report is the first part in producing that Wellbeing Assessment How has this assessment been produced? 1.1.4 To describe all aspects of wellbeing would be an enormous task, so this Assessment aims to provide only an outline of the more strategic issues affecting the counties of Conwy and Denbighshire. In producing the Assessment we have taken an ‘engagement led’ approach. The journey has not started with pre- conceived ideas or abstract data analysis, but with extensive engagement both with local communities and the staff who work in the different public sector organisations. People were encouraged to talk about the strengths and weaknesses of living in the area or providing public services to the people. 1.1.5 We have grouped what people were saying into strategic topics and looked into the data and available supporting research papers to see where there is sound evidence to support the perceptions and feelings. In particular we have tried to consider the implications of each topic on the wellbeing of the individual and how it contributes to the 7 wellbeing goals set out in the Act. 1.1.6 As well as providing an analysis of the current situation, where possible, data has been collected to track progress over time and consider how the future may look if current trends continue. Limitations of this assessment and next stages 1.1.7 We know that this Assessment will only provide a strategic outline or framework for public sector bodies to produce their wellbeing objectives. It gives a broad but quite shallow analysis of each of the topic areas it covers. It is intended only as the first step in the process and will evolve as an assessment over time. 1.1.8 To move on from this Assessment we recommend that the public services consider prioritising a number of the topic areas, and then commission more in depth analysis on each of these. This will keep the Assessment manageable and more likely to have an impact. This next stage of the Assessment process should February 2017 Conwy and Denbighshire Public Services Board Page 4 of 152 Assessment of local well-being look to provide a clear bridge between the strategic topics discussed and the response that is needed by public services working in partnership with the communities. 1.2 The seven well-being goals for Wales 1.2.1 The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 outlines seven well-being goals which need to be considered when drawing up local objectives. A description of each well-being goal and the issues identified within that theme is provided below. All of the issues identified in this needs analysis are cross-cutting and impact on more than one of these spheres of well-being. An innovative, productive and low carbon society which recognises the limits of the global environment and therefore uses resources efficiently and Prosperous proportionately (including acting on climate change); and which develops a skilled (1) and well-educated population in an economy which generates wealth and provides employment opportunities, allowing people to take advantage of the wealth generated through securing decent work. A nation which maintains and enhances a biodiverse natural environment with Resilient (2) healthy functioning ecosystems that support social, economic and ecological resilience and the capacity to adapt to change (for example climate change). A society in which people’s physical and mental well-being is maximised and in Healthier (3) which choices and behaviours that benefit future health are understood. A society that enables people to fulfil their potential no matter what their More equal background or circumstances (including their socio economic background and (4) circumstances). Cohesive communities Attractive, viable, safe and well-connected communities. (5) Vibrant culture and A society that promotes and protects culture, heritage and the Welsh language, thriving and which encourages people to participate in the arts, and sports and recreation. Welsh language (6) Globally A nation which, when doing anything to improve the economic, social, responsible environmental and cultural well-being of Wales, takes account of whether doing (7) such a thing may make a positive contribution to global well-being. February 2017 Conwy and Denbighshire Public Services Board Page 5 of 152 Assessment of local well-being 1.3 Consultation and engagement 1.3.1 The aim at the onset was to make this assessment engagement lead. Staff working within the public sector, members of the public, community groups and local businesses have all contributed their experiences of visiting, living or working in Conwy and Denbighshire counties. They discussed the strengths and weaknesses of living in the area or providing public services to the people. 1.3.2 Some of the engagement that has informed this assessment includes: • The county conversation with the public in Conwy and Denbighshire Counties which with support from Community Voice, received around 500 responses and engaged 30+ community groups. • Engagement commissioned with harder to reach groups through the North Wales Race and Equality Network and through Wrexham council including: Physical disability Group, Carer’s Group, Alzheimer’s society, BAWSO, Portuguese community representatives, Polish Community representatives, Visually Impaired Support Group, LGBT Group, and the Deaf Association. • The engagement work under the Social Care and Wellbeing Act 2014 included responses from over 120 third sector organisations and workshops with Social Care and Health staff across North Wales. • Feedback from 30+ small businesses in the Colwyn Bay area • Life in Rural Conwy Research – interviews with 24 people on life and the challenges for people living in rural communities • Representatives from all internal Council Services and all partner organisations listed as part of the PSB below have had the opportunity to contribute to this assessment. These include: o Denbighshire Voluntary o Conwy County Borough Services Council Council o Wales Community o Denbighshire Council Rehabilitation Company o Betsi Cadwaladr University North Wales Police Health Board o o Police and Crime o North Wales Fire & Rescue Commissioner's Office Service o Welsh Government o Natural Resources Wales o Public Health Wales o Community and Voluntary Support Conwy • Council member engagement so far through the Improving Conwy workshops in September 2016 and the Conwy Priorities Plan workshop on the 29th November 2016.

  • Well-Being Plan 2018
    Conwy and Denbighshire Public Services Board: Well-being Plan 2018 - 2023 Technical Document A summary version of this document is also available Foreword I am pleased, on behalf of partners on the Conwy & Denbighshire Public Services Board (PSB), to introduce this Local Well-being Plan for our two counties. It is the culmination of work that began in April 2016, and represents our conclusions on what we feel are the key areas that pose the greatest need or challenge for our communities, and where we feel the PSB can make the greatest contribution without duplicating good work already taking place within existing partnerships and organisations. In this technical document we have outlined some of the highlights from our local assessment of well-being (which is available to view online here) and the conversations that we have had with our communities and stakeholders in the development of this Local Well-being Plan. We have then outlined the priorities the PSB will focus on to help address the issues that we have identified. This technical document is supported by a summary version of the plan. A lot of work has already taken place to get us to this point, but this is only the start of the PSB’s journey. This Local Well-being Plan is an outline of what it is we would like to achieve, but there is more work to be done to develop our programme of work, and we would welcome your input into this as part of our ongoing conversation with our communities. If you would like to be kept informed of our work, get involved or provide feedback to us, please see our contact details on the last page of this document.

Our policy development is rooted in the wisdom of those working to tackle Britain’s deepest social problems and the experience of those whose lives have been affected by poverty. Our Working Groups are non-partisan, comprising prominent academics, practitioners and policy makers who have expertise in the relevant fields. We consult nationally and internationally, especially with charities and social enterprises, who are the champions of the welfare society. In addition to policy development, the CSJ has built an alliance of poverty fighting organisations that reverse social breakdown and transform communities. We believe that the surest way the Government can reverse social breakdown and poverty is to enable such individuals, communities and voluntary groups to help themselves. The CSJ was founded by Iain Duncan Smith in 2004, as the fulfilment of a promise made to Janice Dobbie, whose son had recently died from a drug overdose just after he was released from prison.
