Guide: supporting positive cultures

Last updated: 9 Jun 2025

This guide explains the principles of positive cultures and why they matter. It also has links to resources, programmes and tools to help you use the principles.

The guide has been written by Social Care Wales and Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW).

Use the two menus to work your way through the guide, or you can download a PDF copy of the guide below.

Launching the guide

Over 220 practitioners, leaders and partners from across Wales joined us in a special webinar to launch the new Guide. 

In the webinar, practitioners and leaders shared their experience and challenges on building positive cultures.  They all highlighted the growing need for more opportunities to work together and share sector wide learnings.
