Health, Wellbeing & Partnerships
PAVO’s Health, Wellbeing & Partnership team aim to
- Listen to your concerns and queries about the services, groups and activities that are available to your family and to raise these with statutory organisations, including Powys Teaching Health Board and Powys County Council to try to answer and resolve your issues.
- To give you a voice and be part of the work to develop the services that your family use.
We aim to support the organisations that work with children and families in Powys by acting as a conduit of information from the third sector; and the children and families the sector works with, into the work of the Startwell Board and its workstreams under the Regional Partnership Board. To include regularly updates for the sector, by email and e-bulletins about the news from Startwell and other relevant sources.
