Over the last 9 months we’ve been working across our 3 local authorities on the Accessing Adult Social Care project with the team from CDPS. It’s been a new way of working and it’s been brilliant to work collaboratively and see how we can approach our service delivery in a different way.

Last week saw the first monthly meeting of our Communicating Digital Community of Practice. We’ve had 16 comms practitioners sign up to the community since we launched it back in May.

The digital landscape team talk through what they have achieved in the last fortnight as they have begun to zoom-in to some of the details, going through the areas in which they are working one-by-one.  

We’re working with the National Procurement Service to do a discovery about the e-procurement tools used across the Welsh public sector, in order to understand the experiences of those using these systems, and what kind of system they would like to use.

Interim CEO Sally Meecham talks about the culture of the CDPS.

The Landscape Review aims to understand the state of Welsh digital public services (across services, platforms, contracts, and technology and skills) in order to better set priorities, to identify where we can join up teams and services, and assign investment for improving them.

In February 2021, Sport Wales approached the Centre to see how we could support them in developing their community grants system and also on their digital transformation journey.

I’m delighted to be writing my first blog post as the new Chair of the Centre for Digital Public Services. For me the term “digital” represents much more than technology and computers.

In our previous blog post, we shared an update on the development journey for our ‘Track My Request’ solution to give easy access to status updates on requests to Adult Social Care.

Last week was Digital Leaders Week, an event focused on digital transformation with 300 speakers and 200 separate events aimed at sharing good practice.
