    NIE2018

    Our 2018 event ‘Are we making a difference? Understanding our impact on well-being‘, held on 22 November looked at how new legislation, new expectations and different ways of working meant that those delivering public services in Wales need to think differently about how they evaluate and measure the effectiveness and impact of policies, actions and interventions. The day contained a wide range of informative and interactive sessions, aimed at providing delegates with practical solutions and ideas for them to use within their own organisations.

    We also had two plenary speakers who are renowned in their respective fields of the design of public services and the use of well-being data in the evaluation of interventions, both of whom were able to provide a perspective from outside of Wales. They helped invoke great debate and discussions helping delegates to identify new thinking, ways of working and possible solutions to some of Wales’ ‘wicked’ issues.

    Delegates heard from a range of speakers including Christopher Stevens, Head of Planning and Partnership Branch and Claire Germain Head of Local Government Partnerships, Welsh Government.

    We also heard from Dr. Alan Netherwood from Netherwood Sustainable Futures who talked about his work with the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) on the Future Generations Act Early Adopter Programme and work on futures governance at Cardiff University to explore how the needs of future generations can be represented in well-being assessments.

    There were a number of breakout sessions with speakers from the Wales Audit Office, Public Health Wales, Participation Cymru, Social Services Improvement Agency, Welsh Local Government Association, Welsh Government, Ceredigion County Council, City and County of Swansea and Cwm Taf UHB.

    The day was brought to a close with Russell De’Ath, Senior Natural Resource Management Adviser, Natural Resources Wales who talked about how the Environment (Wales) Bill gives NRW a particular focus in communicating both the risks and the opportunities that the management of natural resources offers for human well-being, and how they are approaching this new challenge and how this will inform well-being assessments and well-being plans.

    Feedback from the event so far has been very positive. Presentations and video footage are now available.
