From: Council - Tuesday, 9th December, 2025 10.00 am - December 09, 2025

• The compilation and publication of the Director of Social Services Annual report is a statutory requirement. • The purpose of the report is to give an overview of the performance of the social services department within Torfaen County Borough Council. It is a retrospective review of activity within the period 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025. • The report highlights key developments and achievements over the period 2024/25 • The report reflects Torfaen’s ongoing commitment to reducing inequality and improving well-being within a social care framework, guided by the Marmot principles and evidenced within the County Plan (2022–2027). • Social care operates in a challenging environment, with rising demand, varied workforce pressures, and financial constraints, but the focus remains on community resilience, prevention, and partnership working. • The report should be considered alongside the County Plan, Marmot Principles and the developments relating to the Torfaen Deal.
