A guide to Part 2, Section 16 of the Social Services and Well-Being (Wales) Act 2014, which places a duty on local authorities to promote social enterprises, co-operatives, user-led services and the third sector to deliver care and support and preventative services for adults, children, young people, carers, their families and communities. The Act also requires local authorities to promote the involvement of people for whom these care and support and preventative services are to be provided, in their planning, design and operation. The aim of the duty is to expand the range of not-for-profit service models in the social care sector. The intention is to increase the diversity of provision available, tap into and support innovation and creativity, and increase community resilience. This document outlines the Welsh Government’s draft Code of Practice in relation to the promotion of these types of organisation and provides further information about, and links to, relevant resources.
