Supporting People

Operational Plan

Supporting People Operation Plan (SPOP)

Each year, Caerphilly county borough council must submit a Supporting People Operational Plan to the Welsh Assembly Government. This is the first such plan.

The plan provides information on the current supply of accommodation-related support within the Caerphilly county borough and also identifies future needs for vulnerable people. The plan acts as a bidding document for additional funds to allow us to introduce new services to meet future needs or to fund the re-modeling of existing services to cope with changing needs.

The SPOP is linked to the aims and objectives for supported accommodation contained in the 5-year Homelessness Strategy and other local and regional planning policies and strategies.

The aims of the SPOP are:

  • To accurately target SPRG resources on a national and local level.
  • To provide an evidence base for the allocation of SPG resources at a national and local level.
  • To provide a framework that is clear and transparent to all parties involved in the process.
  • To ensure a consistent approach on a national level, which aids the equitable distribution of resources at a local level.

This plan has to be updated annually and submitted to the Welsh Assembly Government. This years plan will include a lot more information on needs mapping as we will have more time to collect and collate information and ensure greater involvement of all interested agencies.
