The Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 has been granted royal assent. The Act will: introduce portable assessments so that people who move from one place to another in Wales will be assured services in the new area; ensure people are assessed on what they need, rather than simply on what services are available locally; establish a National Adoption Service to improve outcomes of children in need of a permanent family. |
