TAKING CARE OF WALES

Our Mission Statement

The Care Forum Wales mission statement was developed in conjunction with our members and reflects the needs of the industry.

• To provide high-quality representation to Government and other relevant agencies on behalf of members and affiliated Associations.

• To organise and maintain a coherent and proactive strategy, in order to influence health and social policy in Wales.

• To ensure that the views of members, affiliated Associations, their individual members and their clients are properly represented in all policy debates which may affect the welfare of their existing and future clients.

• To assist member Associations to maintain and enhance their effectiveness by the following means:

  • enabling the efficient use of resources.

• exchanging, collating and sharing information.

• enabling their members to diversify into other areas of care to contribute effectively to the development of high-quality community care.

• Promoting common standards and unity of purpose.

• To promote the free flow of information to enable and empower individuals to make informed choices about the care available in all sectors. To ensure that appropriate channels exist to make such information readily available and easily understandable.

• To promote high quality training and education for staff in the care sector, and to provide support to the Member Associations and their members in making full use of it.

• To assist members and affiliate organisations to prepare for the changes that will take place during and after the re-organisation of Local Government in Wales. To influence the new Authorities to take proper account of the Independent Sector in preparing their community care plans.
