Wales

In Wales, we have been working with the sector to identify the key priorities and actions identified in the strategy and we are working together to:

  • increase the take-up of money advice services, particularly among families with children and older people
  • increase (and share learnings from) interventions that help people build financial resilience
  • make sure all financial education in Wales is consistent in all learning environments, for all learners
  • evaluate financial capability interventions in Wales in a way that helps us identify what works well.

The Wales Financial Capability Strategy is embedded into the Welsh Government’s Financial Inclusion Strategy and has wider links across the Programme for Government.

Wales strategy

A key aim of the Strategy will be to listen to and understand more fully the differing capabilities of, or barriers faced by, young adults in order to enable more effective, sustainable and engaging financial capability approaches to be developed to help them with welfare reform; further and higher education funding; and changes in the jobs market, such as an increase in apprenticeships
