These Regulations set out the functions of a local authority and the functions of a Local Health Board that are “family support functions” for the purposes of section 58 of the Children and Families (Wales) Measure 2010 (“the 2010 Measure”). Section 57 of the 2010 Measure requires local authorities to establish one or more integrated family support (“IFS”) teams in their area and requires a Local Health Board to participate in their establishment. The IFS teams are not separate legal entities but bring together the local authority and the Local Health Board to perform together certain health and social care functions to address the issues of the families whose cases can be referred to it.
