A CONVERSATION ABOUT CARE

Fee: £75 + vat (Lunch & Refreshments inc.)

 

1.  KEYNOTE: Jim Diers, Participatory Democracy expert from Seattle

2. Bob Rhodes, author of “Much More to Life than Services” and leader in strengths-based inclusive practice

3. Richard Davies, Organisational Psychologist and Consultant at Vanguard, interested in the design of public services

5. Ralph Broad, expert on Local Area Coordination in the UK and social care reform

Despite the wealth of inputs, this is one of those events where the word ‘conference’ is not the best fit, it will be more about conversation and a little less about presentation, more about participation and less about consuming information. This is a genuine invitation to a conversation that really matters, to discuss questions that do not have predefined answers, and to work with around 100 leaders, thinkers and practitioners from across the UK to identify possibilities for actionable change towards a more caring society.
