Formerly known as ‘Western Bay’, the Regional Partnership Board was established in 2012 with the purpose of integrating services more effectively.

Our aim is to explore new and innovative ways of working to ensure services are sustainable in the face of growing demand and a challenging financial climate.

The West Glamorgan Regional Partnership is one of seven ‘regional collaboratives’ in Wales, with associated programmes and projects being delivered in the context of the Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014.

Who we are and what we do…

Our team’s collective expertise drives transformation and innovation across the West Glamorgan region. Every member plays a vital role in shaping and delivering services that respond to the health and social care needs of our communities.

An overview of the range of roles and responsibilities can be found below:

• Directors – The Director and Deputy Director lead, manage, and assure the delivery of the West Glamorgan Transformation Programme, overseeing strategic planning, governance, financial management, stakeholder engagement, and reporting. They ensure effective programme delivery, compliance, and continuous improvement, supporting regional collaboration and innovation across health and social care in West Glamorgan.
• Transformation Managers – The Transformation Managers are responsible for developing and delivering the transformation programme business cases and programme plans, using results-based accountability models. Their roles include managing the quality, performance, and delivery of their programmes and associated projects, ensuring they are delivered on time, within budget, and to the expected standard. Transformation Managers work closely with the leads for regional programmes, including Heads of Service, Third Sector organisations, Welsh Government officials, and other key stakeholders.
• Project Managers – Project Managers report to the Transformation Managers and are responsible for the delivery of multiple projects and work streams, ensuring progress is tracked and reported through our established governance arrangements. This includes milestone planning, preparing reports, managing risks and issues and interdependencies across the projects and programmes. Project Managers also build relationships across their assigned programmes and ensure alignment with the overall West Glamorgan governance structure.
• Communications, Engagement and Participation – Colleagues in this team are responsible for developing and delivering clear and concise communications promoting the work of the partnership across a wide range of digital platforms and publications. A key aspect of the team’s role is also to record and edit digital stories, highlighting the positive impact of the partnership’s work and capturing the real-life voices and experiences of the people we support. This team has oversight of regional engagement and participation, working collaboratively to coordinate activities designed to gather the views and experiences of a broad range of stakeholders. These contributions are hugely important in shaping the strategic direction of the regional programme of work. You’ll also find colleagues from this team out and about at community events with our information stall, increasing brand visibility and making valuable connections.
• Performance and Finance – West Glamorgan’s Finance and Performance Officers ensure all programmes and projects are delivered effectively by monitoring performance, managing budgets and grants, and supporting robust performance frameworks. They are also responsible for producing reports, evaluating projects, and ensuring governance, compliance, and financial activities align with regional business cases and Welsh Government requirements.
