About Us

SAB Society Wales supports the work of SABs by engaging with relevant organisations and stakeholders and, where necessary, lobbying for change with the aim of promoting consistency and excellence across Wales.

We provide direct training to SAB Officers and share guidance, experience and promote best practice with the wider SuDS Community.

Our Priorities

Each year, SAB Society Wales identifies the priority goals of the Chief SAB Officers from across Wales. These are matters collectively considered most critical to be addressed by SABs and our partners across the public and private sectors. SAB Society Wales are focussed on efforts to seek positive change and improved outcomes in each of these vital areas:

1. Enhanced resources and greater resilience within SABs to enable timely and effective service delivery.

2. Consistency across all SABs through shared resources and experience to promote better spaces for people and nature.

3. Effective collaborative work to accelerate delivery of appropriate recommendations arising from industry reviews, including the Welsh Government's post implementation review and the Welsh Government Affordable Housing Taskforce.
