For a number of years the UHB has funded two Health and Social Care Facilitators, one based with Glamorgan Voluntary Services (GVS) and one with Cardiff Third Sector Council (C3SC). The Health and Social Care Facilitators play a highly visible role in supporting strategic and operational partnership working between statutory health and care organisations and the local third sector. They provide the conduit for the third sector in relation to national and local health and social care policies and support the involvement of the third sector in the planning and delivery of services. The Health and Social Care Networks that they facilitate in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan provide workshops, training and newsletters as well as a focal point for third sector consultation and engagement. There is an expectation that the Facilitators in the two CVCs will work closely to provide co-ordinated and cohesive input and support to the UHB and wider regional partnership agenda wherever appropriate.
