Lesley Griffiths AM, Minister for Local Government and Government Business, gave the keynote speech at both seminars. 

The seminar was aimed at public service strategic leaders including:

  • Chief Executives;
  • Directors of Finance; 
  • Heads of Service; and 
  • Corporate Services.

Welsh public services are increasingly focusing on preventative interventions and policies, offering consideration of the public service as a whole, rather than individual organisations. Prevention and earlier intervention is a key theme of the 2014-15 Budget and investing now to save down the line is a common priority across public services. 

In practice, making this shift presents significant challenges for public services. This seminar facilitated honest conversations about the reality of shifting emphasis and resources, drawing on existing good practice case studies from across Wales and the UK. It is also one of the key principles of the proposed Future Generations Bill. 

Walking away from the Seminar, delegates gained further insight and guidance around practical solutions adopted elsewhere to benefit the organisation, staff, and service users.

The seminar consisted of showcase sessions:
