Each of the Partners provided both a written and verbal update on the 5 steps in the PSB Action Plan 2025-2026: · Transforming Early Years Services: Karen Stapleton, Swansea Bay University Health Board reported that most of the actions were on track, however two had turned amber this period - Healthy Child Wales Programme (HCWP) due to ongoing linkage with National work and Expansion of Early Years Services using local assets – due to ongoing work with the Regional Programme Board regarding the mapping and overlay of hub data. Both amber actions would move into Quarter 1 for next year. Everything else was progressing well with several having been completed. · Human Rights City Progress: Ness Young, Swansea Council reported strong progress with activities on track, as well as seeing human rights increasingly embedded into day-to-day practice across partners. The final framework, co-designed with the stakeholder panel had been circulated and was being utilised to identify clear next steps and areas for collective improvement. The World Health Organisation Age Friendly City status application had been submitted. Human Rights awareness continued to strengthen within the probation service in both community and custody settings. The expansion of Safeguarding training and resources continued to strengthen confidence and consistency across organisations and Human Rights was now fully embedded in the Health Board’s Strategic Equality Plan. KPI’s were on track, with risks around awareness, resources and measuring impact, however mitigations were in place through training, targeted engagement and clear performance measures. · Net Zero Target and Nature Recovery: Huwel Manley, Natural Resources Wales reported that unfortunately the application for Climate Action funding had been unsuccessful, however the climate Change Signature Group would continue to seek other opportunities. The Climate Action Services Group had created an action plan of over 300 actions with 11 key work areas which included the wider objectives from the Welsh Government Change Risk Assessment criteria, and feedback from the community engagement exercise that took place last year. Members of the group would be attending the Crystal event being held in Swansea on St. David’s Day, engaging with the public to share information on the climate change agenda. They would also be engaging with Community/Town Councils in order to identify two Community/Town Councils that would review the risks around climate change. Finally, he mentioned a programme likely to be led by the Police around green infrastructure and improving the environment for people in a fully urban geographical area. · Community Safety and Cohesion: Craig Flannery, Mid & West Wales Fire & Rescue Service (MWWFRS) reported that actions would be completed by the end of the year. Plans were progressing regarding the Community Safety Team re-locating to a City Centre building. Work progressed around neighbourhood policing teams providing a visible presence in communities. MWWFRS hosted a workshop for children and young people at Swansea City Stadium to discuss all things related to youth related crime trends, both from perpetrators and victims’ perspectives. The event was well attended by multi-agency partners. A report and evaluation would be presented to the next PSB meeting. · Integrated Cultural Offer: Mark Wade, Swansea Council reported that the consultation phases for the new Cultural Strategy were complete and at final draft stage, with a view to seeking approval from Cabinet in April followed by a formal launch in May 2026. The delivery phase and action plan which underpin the strategy would follow. Work was ongoing in respect of expansion of the cultural programming by increasing the number of accessible community led events across Swansea. An audit of music venues in Swansea in order to be more supportive was also in progress. Moving towards the first full year of the relationship with the newly formed West Wales Regional Sports Partnership. The Partnership would ensure monitoring and evaluation during the transition from Sport Wales and concentrate funding in areas of particular need. The Croeso Saint David’s Day event would be held again this year to strengthen the Welsh language and heritage promotion.
Ness Young, Swansea Council presented a report on the review of the Swansea Public Services Board. The report reviewed the work of Swansea Public Services Board (PSB) in 2025, supported by a Welsh Government grant. Through interviews, surveys, site visits and a workshop, it explored how PSB partners work together and what could be improved. The findings show strong relationships and a shared commitment to making Swansea a better place to live. The report recommended building on these strengths by focusing on visible results, deepening collaboration, and making the most of new opportunities like the Dyfatty Clear, Hold, Build programme. A workshop had taken place at the beginning of February in order to agree priorities and actions for 2026–28. As a result, formal endorsement was requested from the PSB for the Dyfatty Clear, Hold, Build programme (working title) to become the key flagship project for 2026-2028 and for it to sit as Step 4 in the Well-being Plan.
