sustainable development i.e to improve social,
economic, environmental and cultural well-being of
Wales
• Sets a vision and steps towards ‘The Wales We Want’
– Goals, objectives, ways of working
• Establishes checks and controls
– including reporting, the Future Generations

Goals
@futuregencymru
Descriptors
WOW – the five ways of working
@futuregencymru
5 ways of working - In practice
• planning for the long-term – not just short-term
solutions but long-term vision,
• prevention – acting to prevent problems occurring
and putting in measures in place to break the cycle
of intergenerational problems
• integration – ensuring that they cut across all 7 of
the well-being goals and don’t work in isolation,
• collaboration- ensuring that they work in
partnerships with other organisations or different
parts of their own organisation, and finally
• involvement – ensuring that people are involved in
the decision-making that affects them.

@futuregencymru
Potential challenges and
opportunities

• could inhibit forward planning but if addressed
long-term strategies could be put in place to
ensure long term support
for the users
• Opportunity for community transport
services to be recognised in the well-being
assessments of the Public Services Boards
