Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 1:38 pm on 16 November 2016.
Diolch, Lywydd. Last Friday, I spoke at the Meaningful Change conference in Llanrwst in north Wales, organised by the Co-production Network for Wales, which focused, amongst other things, on learning about inspirational examples where co-production has been effectively adopted and discussed ways in which we can increasingly involve people in the design and delivery of services in accordance with the Wales well-being goals. Given the figures from the End Child Poverty Coalition last week that 28 per cent of children in Wales are living in poverty—that is still the highest amongst the UK nations—how do you feel or what consideration have you given to an application of co-production principles to help you to tackle that, as you take forward new models for tackling poverty in Wales?
