Rhondda Cynon Taf established the RCT Resilient Families Programme in 2017 to demonstrate its commitment to the wider early intervention and prevention agenda and engage the Council’s public, private and third sector partners in and secure their commitment to the agenda in line with the principles of the Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014 and The Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.
The Resilient Families Service was established in 2018 to provide direct support to families requiring early intervention and intensive intervention as part of the Integrated Family Support Framework.

Levels 1 - Informal Parenting Support
