Who we are what we do
In Rhondda Cynon Taf Flying Start is delivered as an integrated part of The CWTCH Programme. CWTCH aims to provide co-ordinated support to families with children aged 0-5 years. Usually Flying Start eligibility is determined based on geographical eligibility via the families postcode, however in RCT we operate a hybrid model based on geographical eligibility and family/child needs. Flying Start is a Welsh Government funded programme which is jointly delivered between the Council and Cwm Taf Morgannwg Health Board.
Families have the option to sign up to the CWTCH Programme, which allows RCTCBC and Cwm Taf Morgannwg Local Health Board to offer an authority wide coordinated package of support to families. This includes part-time funded childcare from the term following a child’s second birthday for 12.5 hours per week for 39 weeks of the year, an enhanced health visiting service, parenting programmes and speech, language and communication support.
