There are a host of on-line resources available, of which some are listed below. If you are looking for a specific link to a service (such as Employment) then you will hopefully find the information within our Topics section.
All Wales Convention
Setting up an All Wales Convention is a commitment made in the Labour/ Plaid Cymru coalition’s programme of government agreed in June 2007. The programme of government is detailed within One Wales which sets out what the Government plans to do over the course of the next four years.
In One Wales a joint commitment is made by both parties to use the Assembly’s current lawmaking powers to the full, and to campaign for a successful outcome of a referendum for full law making powers for Wales.
Local Government Association
The Local Government Association (LGA), formed on 1 April 1997, promotes the interests of English and Welsh local authorities - a total of just under 500. These represent over 50 million people and spend around £74 billion a year on local services.
The LGA exists to promote better local government. We work with and for our member authorities to realise a shared vision of local government that enables local people to shape a distinctive and better future for their locality and its communities. We aim to put local councils at the heart of the drive to improve public services and to work with government to ensure that the policy, legislative and financial context in which they operate, supports that objective.
Local Government Data Unit Wales
The Local Governement Data Unit Wales help local authorities and the Welsh Assembly Government use data more effectively so that they understand and improve the services they provide to the people of Wales.
National Assembly for Wales
The National Assembly for Wales is a devolved assembly with power to make legislation in Wales. The Assembly comprises 60 members, who are known as Assembly Members, or AMs.
Members are elected for four year terms under an additional members system, where forty AMs represent geographical constituencies elected by the plurality system, and twenty AMs from five electoral regions using the d'Hondt method of proportional representation.
The Welsh Assembly Government
The Welsh Assembly Government is responsible for most of the issues of day-to-day concern to the people of Wales, including the economy, health, education, and local government.
The role of the Welsh Assembly Government is to exercise functions devolved to it in order to: make decisions on matters which affect people’s daily lives; develop and implement policy; make subordinate legislation (eg regulations and statutory guidance) and propose Assembly Measures (Welsh laws).
