Pathfinder 19 Nov.jpg
In September 2011, Wiltshire was granted Green Paper ‘pathfinder’ status. This gives Wiltshire Council, in collaboration with parent carers and professionals, the opportunity to design and test out a new way of delivering services that can meet more fully the needs of children, young people and their families.


On this page you will find presentations, links and other information from consultations and events relating to the pathfinding process.

For more general information to help you understand the pathfinder process and what it might mean for you and your family, download the council's information sheets on our Frequently Asked Questions page.

Remember: your opinions count. Join in the discussions about all the planned changes to services on the DCA Pathfinder e-forum.
