This law aims to improve the well-being of people who need care or support in Wales. Well-being means a person is happy, healthy and is comfortable with their life and what they do.

The law requires a ‘well-being assessment’ to be carried out to find out the best way to meet your needs. If you are a refused asylum seeker, a well-being assessment may lead to accommodation or other support if your family has been found to require support and withholding that support would breach your human rights.
