Consortium Agreement
Our Vision is that through working collaboratively we will develop and deliver improved services for children and young people and support them to achieve improved standards.
The six Authorities which make up the South West and Mid Wales Consortium, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Neath and Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire, Powys, and Swansea, have worked together in a range of areas for some years and continue to seek to develop new systems and ways of working that:
- remain true to the ethos of each authority,
- maintain a focus on the needs of the learner and
- provide additional benefits to all.
Consortium working
- promotes improvement in standards of attainment and achievement
- provides mutual support
- builds upon and adds value to the successful work of the individual authorities and
- ensures bilingualism
- whilst seeking to ensure that the approach developed is cost effective and achieves value for money.
There is no one way of working together that fits all situations and therefore swamwac has adopted a Continuum of Consortium working which provides the necessary flexibility to accommodate a range of situations and solutions.
