The action log was noted.

Paul Thomas, Community Integration Partnership Manager provided an annual statement of the work of the Safer Swansea Partnership during 2022 as part of the overarching Governance arrangements. Resolved that the Safer Swansea Partnership Annual Statement be accepted and noted.
Keith Reid, Executive Director of Public Health provided a presentation on the Healthy Weight Healthy Wales programme. The Healthy Weight Healthy Wales Whole Systems Approach (HWHW WSA) Programme was a collaborative programme between Public Health Wales, the Directors of Public Health Leadership Group and Welsh Government. The Whole System Approach to a Healthy Weight in Wales would take a long term view and was underpinned by a 10 year Welsh Government strategy. The programme was part of a national programme but the role at a local level would build on local relationships and partnerships and links with local communities to implement and drive change. The approach would recognise the importance of building on local assets and opportunities and strengthening cross-sector alliances. The work would be undertaken with a range of stakeholders, including local communities, to both better understand the system and the opportunities for change. The process explicitly aimed to reveal the structures and goals within a given system. The Joint Committee also provided details of other programmes that had taken place in communities, the results of which might assist the programme team. The Chair thanked Mr Reid for the informative presentation.
Suzy Richards, Sustainable Policy Officer provided an update on progress to date in respect of the development of the Local Well-being Plan. The plan continued to evolve and be updated following the consultation responses received and the Joint Committee would receive the most up to date iteration of the Plan following this meeting. Whilst a few responses were still expected imminently from partners, all the responses had been actioned as soon as they had been received. It was noted, however that responses had been disappointingly low compared to previous years. A workshop had been arranged for 15 February in order that partners could agree the final changes / comments / additions. Three workshops had taken place. The regional funding would be utilised for the translation of the Plan and an ‘Easy Read’ version, together with a digital video would also be produced and images and typesetting would be updated. It was agreed that the query regarding the branding could be agreed by all the partners via email.
The Performance Framework / Highlighted reports from the 4 Workstreams were noted.
For Information. However, it was noted that as a decision was required in the next few weeks in response to the letter, further discussions would take place in the workshop scheduled for 15 February.
The future work programme was noted.
Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
Declarations are read from the minutes once they are published.
