In this post, developer Matthew Pugh tells us a bit about the approach to testing and iterating through prototyping.

Back in August, we set out to identify a shared challenge impacting the front door of Adult Social Care across Blaenau Gwent, Torfaen and Neath Port Talbot, exploring how we could use user-centred design and digital enablers to support services. 

In her draft budget for 2021-22, Rebecca Evans announced that CDPS has been allocated funding of £4.9m for the next financial year. This is brilliant news for digital public services in Wales.  

One of our priorities at the Centre is to help organisations and their leaders develop greater understanding and confidence around digital.

Sally Meecham has been appointed interim CEO for the Centre for Digital Public Services (CDPS)

Over the last 9 months many of us working in public service delivery in Wales have seen a significant shift in how and where we work, and how we deliver services.

In this post, the three project sponsors tell us a bit about why they got involved, what it’s been like it, what they’re learning and what they’re hoping to achieve.

Chris Owens, manager at the Adult Single Point of Contact team at Neath Port Talbot Council is part of the expert squad project working in partnership with Social Finance. In this latest blog post Chris gives his experience of working with the project so far.

Back in September, we shared our first draft of the Digital Service Standards for Wales. We wanted to hear what you thought of them. What worked, what was missing and what was needed to make them the backbone of all public sector service delivery in Wales.

When I was appointed Chair of CDPS I knew I wanted an advisory panel to support me through the initial formation of the Centre. It was important that the panel had a wide range of experience and backgrounds and would be prepared to challenge both me and the progress and direction of the Centre.
