Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:29 pm on 11 October 2016.
Change is never easy, and we cannot duck the new and serious challenges that we face. Rather, we must find a fresh way to respond. Beginning now, we will engage internal and external stakeholders on our future approach, including the proposal to phase out Communities First, and how we will continue to deliver Communities for Work and Lift. We will seek views on how we engage, support and strengthen communities through our new approach, centred on further increasing the resilience of communities, to promote opportunities for all. I expect to make a further statement in the new year.
