Principles met

  • Co-production

    We will develop systems that enable citizens to be equal partners in designing and commissioning public services and in determining the use of public resources.

  • Enterprise and social economy

    We will promote community-based approaches to economic development that focus on supporting the creation of jobs, social enterprises and other businesses and providing an environment for co-operative and mutual enterprises to thrive.

  • Innovation

    We will embrace innovation in how we work with local communities to drive positive change.

  • New models of meeting priority needs

    In exploring new ways of meeting the priority needs of our communities we will encourage models, such as co-operatives and mutuals, which give greater influence and voice to staff and users. in designing and commissioning public services and in determining the use of public resources.

We provided legal advice to support cooperative approaches to a sustainable way of looking after young people in Wales.

We supported the Children’s Commissioning Consortium Cymru (4Cs) in its bid to provide a new approach to how the public sector collectively addresses sufficiency duties, balances the functions of a statutory service, enabling service providers and commissioners, while mitigating risk and maximising outcomes for children looked after.

This was all within the context of the current national policy agenda to transform children’s service delivery in Wales and specifically to eliminate private profit from children’s looked after services.

The work involved an overview of the legal vehicles that could meet the Welsh Government’s aspiration for “not for profit” (or “social purpose” as we would prefer to label it) and a response to the Welsh Government’s consultation.
