What the committees do

RCCs bring key stakeholders together from across each region. This ensures that planning and commissioning of Supporting People services makes the most effective use of Supporting People Programme Grant and meets local needs. The RCC is made of representatives from local authorities, health, probation, Supporting People service providers and landlords and also includes service users opinions.

The Vale and Cardiff Regional Collaborative Committee makes recommendations to the Welsh Government on Supporting People spending in its region. It is responsible for producing a Regional Commissioning Plan for Supporting People services. This takes account of local priorities and identifies the most effective way to meet local needs. It is advisory only and does not have executive powers or finance.
