Our Council

The Council has up to 26 elected members representing providers from across Wales’ 22 local authorities – all are volunteers – and four elected officers. We also have three regional councils. These were set up in 2012 to improve representation at regional level across Wales. Each council is chaired by one of Care Forum Wales’ council members.
