Third Sector Partnership Council
The Third Sector Partnership Council (TSPC) is a key mechanism for the third sector to talk to, and hear from, Welsh Government.
The TPSC is chaired by the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children. It is made up of representatives of third sector networks working across 25 areas of third sector activity along with the CEO of WCVA.
The main purpose of the Third Sector Partnership Council is to make sure that the principles set out in the Third Sector Scheme are put into practice:
It also provides an opportunity for the sector to
raise issues of interest or concern. It generally does not discuss
issues that relate to only one area of interest which can be taken
up through biannual ministerial meetings and as a national
body it is concerned with issues affecting all of
Wales.

What the network does
The TSPC employment network has 2 key
functions:
1. To promote and support the role the 3rd
sector plays in addressing employment issues in Wales;
and
2. To represent the views and concerns of
3rd sector employers
The network consists of over 100 organisations. Guided by our manifesto the network engages with the Welsh Government through consultation responses and TSPC meetings.
How to join the network
This is a virtual network open to any
organisation with an interest in employment. To ensure that
the third sector has a voice the network needs representatives from
all quarters. If employment sits anywhere in your workplace
you can support and benefit from joining.
Simply email tspc.employment@siawnsteg.co.uk detailing who you are, which organisation you represent and your full contact details.
Current priorities
The priorities for the network for the coming
period are set out in our manifesto and cover 5 key
areas:
1. Tackling in-work poverty
2. Addressing barriers to the
workplace
3. Employment support
4. Improving community engagement and
partnership working
5. Developing closer links between
Employment and Education/learning through identification of
employer recruitment needs
