144 (100.0%) Social Services Social Services is facing a big challenge in the City and County of Swansea. This means we will need to look at developing a whole new way of working. Overall we expect a Swansea Future Model for Social Services to help support the following: 1.Radically changing the way we provide support, by re-modelling traditional services and focusing on well-being and strengths, and through re-ablement approaches, working to achieve independence as soon as possible 2.Integrating and aligning our services with Health and other key partners. This has been progressing for some years, but this year will mark the start of a major leap forward towards an integrated approach 3.Consistency between services and adult services - to ensure a approach children’s “whole life” and a more seamless transition from one service to the next 4.Working more closely with local communities and carers, by recognising the role that we all play in supporting our neighbours, friends and relatives.
