This strategy sets out the action Wales will take to reap the benefits of the growing number of older people in Wales as they rebuild their communities after the COVID-19 pandemic. The strategy builds on a vision of an age friendly Wales that supports people of all ages to live and age well; where everyone looks forward to growing older; where individuals can take responsibility for their own health and well-being whilst feeling confident that support will be available and easily accessible if needed; where ageism does not limit potential or affect the quality of services older people receive; where age is celebrated and the independence, participation, care, self- fulfilment and dignity of older people are upheld at all times. Three themes cut across the strategy: creating an age friendly Wales; prioritising prevention; and a rights based approach. The strategy aims are: enhancing well-being; improving local services and environments; building and retaining people’s own capability; tackling age related poverty.

Sets out guidance on applying for funding to the Intermediate Care Fund in Wales. The Fund aims to encourage integrated working between local authorities, health and housing in supporting older people, particularly the frail elderly, to maintain their independence and remain in their own home. It can be used to avoid unnecessary hospital admissions, or inappropriate admission to residential care, as well as preventing delayed discharges from hospital. The Fund includes £35 million revenue funding and £15 million capital funding. It is hoped the Fund can be used to build on existing good practice and to increase the scale of provision of integrated services across Wales. The closing date for bids is the 2 March 2014.

This Framework aims to develop integrated services to improve care and support for older people, particularly frail elderly people or those with complex needs, including dementia. It aims give greater emphasis to prevention and early intervention, to reduce, or delay, people becoming frail or developing complex needs. The Framework: summarises the relevant policy and key principles; sets out the Welsh Government’s expectations for all partners (local authorities, health, housing, third and independent sectors) to work together to develop and deliver integrated services; identifies the evidence and core requirements for local planning and delivery; and identifies key actions for delivery and high level outcomes, against which progress will be measured.

This Framework brings together current evidence and practice to explore the current response to hate crimes across Wales and identify the key areas that need to be tackled in the future. It covers hate crimes under Equality Act 2010, which cover disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity. It also incorporates age, cyber hate and bullying, far right hate and mate crime. The delivery of the Framework will be against three objectives: prevention, supporting victims and improving the multi-agency response. It is accompanied by a Delivery Plan which will be updated on an annual basis. The Framework has drawn on responses from an online consultation across Wales, focus and stakeholder groups, a Task and Finish Group of 22 member organisations, and a consultation of the draft Framework carried out in 2013.
