New Models, New Partnerships: Care and Support in the Big Society

ResPublica fringe event at Conservative Conference 2011

Date:  Tuesday 4th October 2011
Time:  6.30pm

Co-hosted with Stonham Services (corresponding events at Liberal Democrat and Labour conference)

The discussion will explore new models for care and support services for the most vulnerable in society.  Panellists are asked to consider the personalization of residential services: how they can be responsive to the needs of local communities? How can new partnership models enable tenant empowerment and community development from the bottom up? How can organisations bring systemic changes for client involvement to be embedded within? How can government facilitate this agenda? And what are the benefits for communities?

 

Speakers: 

  • Daniel Poulter MP, Member of the Health Select Committee
  • Rachael Byrne, Executive Director, Stonham Services
  • Jenny Edwards, Chief Executive, Homeless Link
  • John Liddle, Client, Stonham Services
  • David Brindle, The Guardian (Chair)

 

Refreshments will be served.
