Partnership across the Public Sector
The First Minister published “Making the Connections – Delivering Better
Public Services for Wales”, in October 2004. This high level vision for the
future of public services in Wales stresses voluntary collaboration and joint
working between public bodies in Wales. It establishes a vision for a “Welsh
Public Service”sharing common goals and working together in a more integrated way.
To help support this approach the Wales Public Services Workforce Forum
(PSWF) seeks to facilitate the successful implementation of WAG’s vision for
public services in Wales by:
• strengthening the dialogue between the Welsh Assembly Government,
trade unions and public service employers
• ensuring the effective engagement of staff about employee relations issues
arising from the Making the Connections agenda and advising Ministers accordingly
• developing models of employee relations that can apply across public
services in Wales.
Local government is represented on PSWF by WLGA officers and through
HR Directors representatives. There are a number of developing work-streams
commissioned by the PSWF.
