May 3, 2013 - PRLog -- Welfare Reform in Wales
Wednesday 10th July 2013, Cardiff

Chaired by Erika Helps, Chief Executive, Rhondda Taff Citizens Advice Bureau (RTCAB)

About the event:

Our Welfare Reform in Wales Conference is ideally timed to help delegates better understand the emerging findings from the implementation of some of the important changes to the welfare system.

Key provisions from the Welfare Reform Act will be in place from April including the introduction of the bedroom tax, reform of Disability Living Allowance, the benefit cap and later in the year – Universal Credit. With these changes imminent, it is crucial to have strategies in place to prepare for the changes, protect the most vulnerable and ensure a smooth transition to the new system.

·         Keynote: Chris Gittins, Head of Financial Inclusion Unit, Welsh Government

·         Leanne Herberg, Chief Executive, Cardiff and Vale Credit Union
