SUMMARY:Skills for Infrastructure: How can future demand be met to fuel prosperity?
DESCRIPTION:Skills Minister Nick Boles joined Sir Terry Morgan\, Chairman of Crossrail\, and Andy Mitchell\, Chief Executive of the Thames Tideway Tunnel\, to debate how our construction skills needs can be met. \nThe construction industry is one of the UK’s fastest growing and is a key driver of productivity and the country’s economic health – construction accounts for 7% of the UK’s value added and makes up 10% of total employment. With politicians from all sides committed to devolution\, spreading prosperity across the United Kingdom and tackling the housing crisis\, strong demand in the sector is only likely to continue. \nThe industry’s growth means it is now a victim of its own success. An increasingly severe skills shortage threatens to derail the industry’s recovery and stymy efforts to meet the UK’s housing and infrastructural needs. Nearly half of builders have had difficulty recruiting bricklayers in the last year\, and there has been a substantial fall in apprenticeship completions. The Government is making positive strides through the Construction 2025 strategy toward meeting this skills gap\, but much more needs to be done to ensure we have the skilled workforce to build the prosperous places and cities we need. \nHeld in partnership with Tideway\, this event looked at how our STEM and construction skills needs can be met. It looked at how the Government’s housebuilding drive and major infrastructure projects such as the Tideway Tunnel\, Crossrail and High Speed Rail can be delivered and can leave a lasting legacy of a skilled local workforce. \nwith \nNick Boles MP\, Minister of State for Skills \nAndy Mitchell\, Chief Executive\, Thames Tideway Tunnel \nSir Terry Morgan\, Chairman\, Crossrail \nBridget Rosewell\, Commissioner\, National Infrastructure Commission \nKate Allen\, Political Correspondent\, Financial Times (chair) \nIn partnership with: \n \nPhotos from the event: \n \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:The NHS and Social Care: Reducing bed-blocking and financial pressures
DESCRIPTION:Care Minister Rt Hon. Alistair Burt MP joins Barbara Keeley MP\, Shadow Minister for Older People\, Social Care and Carers\, to debate the future of health and social care\, touching upon topical issues about funding and bed-blocking. \n  \nThe NHS\, and hospitals in particular\, are under increasing strain in terms of both funding and capacity. There has been a sharp increase in A&E targets not being met\, and many hospitals are currently at almost full capacity. One of the causes of this increased pressure is the significant number of frail\, elderly people unable to be discharged from hospitals to settings that are more appropriate to their needs\, resulting in so-called ‘bed blocking’. \nThis panel event\, coinciding with ResPublica’s latest report launch\, will examine how to reduce pressures on the NHS by making better use of existing residential care facilities\, and ask what is needed to allow residential care to step up and take on a more substantial role in a more integrated health and social care system. \nResPublica’s previous work on this important area culminated in the publication of The Care Collapse\, which revealed the reliance of the health service on the beds residential care provides. Our forthcoming report builds on that groundwork\, and will consider how policy-makers can enable social care providers to work with partners in the NHS and reduce pressures on the health service. It will also assess the financial provisions for social care contained in the 2015 Autumn Statement\, and consider what alternative funding could be available. \nWe are delighted to be joined by high-profile speakers\, including Barbara Keeley MP\, Shadow Minister for Health\, as we launch this report. \nTo book tickets\, please visit the event page\, or contact events@respublica.org.uk \nwith \nRt Hon Alistair Burt MP\, Minister for Community and Social Care  \nBarbara Keeley MP\, Shadow Minister for Older People\, Social Care and Carers \nJohn Ransford\, Director\, HC-One \nEmily Crawford\, Principal Research Consultant\, ResPublica \nDave West\, Senior Bureau Chief\, Health Service Journal \n

SUMMARY:Ticket to Ride: How high speed rail for Liverpool can help realise the Northern Powerhouse
DESCRIPTION:The Liverpool City Region\, with its world-class port and logistics facilities\, growing business community\, and cultural vibrancy\, has the potential to drive economic growth at a local\, regional and national level. Yet without proper infrastructure links to the rest of the country\, these assets could well be squandered. This panel event\, coinciding with ResPublica’s latest report launch\, will examine the case for new infrastructure connecting Liverpool into the HS2 network\, allowing the city to develop its economic profile to the benefit of the North of England as a whole. \nHS2 is a once in a generation investment: the opportunities it offers should be grasped in full. Yet the current route plan risks delivering lower and less evenly distributed growth for the North compared to a scenario where a link to Liverpool is included. The economic progress seen in the City Region since the turn of the millennium in particular may fall away if it does not see investment in first rate transport connections. \nThis event will discuss the case for connecting the wider North West into the emerging national high speed rail network\, via a link into Liverpool city centre from the planned HS2 route to the north of Crewe. We are delighted to be joined by a host of high-profile speakers\, including the Chair of the National Infrastructure Commission Lord Adonis\, as we make the case for this investment which will unleash the enormous potential of  the Liverpool City Region. \nwith \nLord Adonis\, Chair\, National Infrastructure Commission \nJoe Anderson\, Mayor of Liverpool \nPhillip Blond\, Director\, ResPublica\n \nLouise Ellman MP\, Member for Liverpool Riverside & Chair of the Transport Select Committee \nChair: Andy Bounds\, North of England Correspondent\, Financial Times \n  \n\n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Make or Break: Why Britain needs a manufacturing resurgence and how we can help it to take place
DESCRIPTION:Speakers \nCaroline Flint MP\nAnna Turley MP\nSeema Malhotra MP\nLord Bilimoria of Chelsea\nChaired by: Phillip Blond\, Director\, ResPublica\n\nThe recent collapse of the British steel industry has demonstrated the problems of an economy reliant on services and external financing. As UK manufacturing’s competitiveness has declined – partly due to a strengthening pound – regional imbalances have grown\, productivity has sagged and economic growth has been sluggish. \nBut the issues facing our manufacturing industries have been neglected.  A quick survey of headline figures reveals the problem we face. The national export balance is continuing to weaken. The balance of firms reporting improvements in export sales remains below its pre-recession peak. And the pound is at a seven year high against the euro\, the currency of our largest export destination. The role of sterling in the steel industry’s woes means this is now a question of urgent national concern. \nSterling’s strength has been caused in part by inflows of foreign capital that finance our current account deficit but often do not increase the productive capacity of the economy. The long-term economic security and prosperity of all regions of the United Kingdom depends on a new\, more holistic approach to economic and industrial policy that addresses this issue. \nWe delighted to welcome a range of speakers to discuss these issues at this event\, which will coincide with the launch of our latest paper\, Make or Break: How sterling can drive Britain’s manufacturing renaissance. It will set out how Britain can manufacture its way towards UK-wide economic prosperity\, productivity and opportunity. \n\nTo register please visit the event page here\, or email events@respublica.org.uk

SUMMARY:A Community Right to Beauty
DESCRIPTION:ResPublica is launching its latest report: A Community Right to Beauty: Giving communities the power to shape\, enhance and create beautiful places\, buildings and spaces. Arguing for the restoration and democratisation beauty in public policy\, this seminal publication recommends the extension of community influence in the planning process to ensure beautiful localities are accessible to all. \nBased on findings from a public poll conducted by leading pollsters Ipsos Mori\, the report explores the public’s attitudes towards beauty and perceived local access to beautiful spaces. \nBeauty plays a central role in enabling people and communities to flourish. Our report highlights the health\, economic\, social and civic benefits of living near beautiful surroundings\, and reasserts the importance of its intrinsic value. \nOur report argues for a ‘community right to beauty’ to be introduced via primary legislation\, the details of which will be revealed in the report. The policy recommendations set out a range of new powers and incentives to support the democratic discernment of what makes a neighbourhood beautiful\, and communities’ ability to independently create\, shape and improve their locale. \nAfter opening remarks by ResPublica’s Head of Policy Programmes\, Caroline Julian\, the event will feature a panel discussion\, with the following confirmed speakers: \n\nRt Hon Nick Herbert MP\, former Conservative Minister\nLoyd Grossman\, Chairman of the Heritage Alliance\nDame Fiona Reynolds\, former Chair of the National Trust.\nSir Terry Farrell\, Chair of the Farrell Review of Architecture and the Built Environment\nPhillip Blond\, Director\, ResPublica\n\nJoining us will be a diverse range of senior representatives from across national and local government\, civil society\, the media and leading charities and businesses.. Spaces will be strictly limited and will be allocated on a first come\, first serve basis. Please register for your place as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

SUMMARY:In Professions We Trust
DESCRIPTION:ResPublica invites to you the launch of its latest report: In Professions We Trust: Fostering virtuous practitioners in teaching\, law and medicine. This report will argue that the legal\, medical\, and teaching professions provide a vital link between public service and the wider common good. Yet this understanding of civic purpose is in crisis\, and the professions too often have come to be seen as self-serving interest groups. The conception of professionalism founded on the performance of duties has been eroded\, with transactionality\, narrowing specialisation\, and the meeting of imposed targets coming to characterise practice. The resultant loss of trust has been detrimental to both practitioners and users of services. \nWe need to acknowledge the obligation of practitioners to serve the common good in order to return law\, medicine\, and teaching to their proper status as vocations. This entails calling practitioners to reconsider their sense of professional purpose\, and allowing the rebuilding of relationships\, in which the doctor\, teacher\, and lawyer knows and seeks to serve all the needs of their patient\, student\, or client. Through this restoration of trust\, it will be possible to return responsibility to members of the professions. \nThis report reasserts virtue as the hallmark of the professions and their practitioners. The continuous nature of the practice of virtue at every stage of professional life must be grasped\, embedding a consideration of practical wisdom and reflective practice in both training and professional life. In this way\, the professions will once again fulfil their calling as vocations that serve the good of all. \nThe event will feature remarks from Dr Dan Poulter\, Conservative MP\, and a  senior Labour counterpart followed by a panel session including \n\nPatrick Roach\, Deputy General Secretary of the NASUWT\nFrancis Gilbert\, Teacher and author\nLord Phillips of Sudbury\, former member of the Lord Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Legal Aid\nPhillip Blond\, Director of ResPublica\n\nThe launch will be a private event\, to which we will be inviting high level representatives from the medical\, teaching and legal professions\, Parliament\, and the media. Spaces will be strictly limited and will be allocated on a first come\, first serve basis. Please register for your place as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. \nPlease arrive promptly for a 1:30 pm start. \nWe look forward to seeing you there. \nThis project is kindly supported by: \n

SUMMARY:Building for the Future: What now for housing?
DESCRIPTION:Keynotes – \nRoberta Blackman-Woods MP\, Shadow Housing Minister \nClive Betts MP \nSpeakers –  \nSara Bailey\, Head of Residential Real Estate\, Trowers & Hamlins\nDavid Cowans\, Chief Executive\, Places for People\nJeremy Stibbe\, Executive Director Development & Sales\, Peabody\nStephen Teagle\, MD Affordable Housing & Regeneration\, Galliford Try \nChaired by: Phillip Blond\, Director\, ResPublica \nWith the General Election over and Ministerial positions finalised\, the Government must now turn its attention to implementing its manifesto and address the nation’s deep social and economic issues\, the most pressing of which is housing.The failure to adequately plan for the future has plunged the UK into a supply and affordability crisis that affects people across the nation. At one end\, there is an ever growing group who cannot access social housing and are locked out of home ownership\, and at the other\, for those in housing\, the combination of a rise in property prices\, constrained mortgage availability and a slow recovery from the recession has drastically changed the market. Furthermore\, the separation between homeowners and private renters is a rising source of tension\, entrenching wealth inequality and feeding an intergenerational divide. \nAs a basic social need\, our citizens should have access to affordable and high quality housing in an attractive neighbourhood that has the necessary infrastructure for them to flourish. A steady home in a well-designed community can have an enormous impact on individual and family life\, providing the necessary stability for a job\, a good base for education as well as delivering essential health\, well-being and wider community benefits. With housing so entwined with our lives\, in the long-run everybody loses from what is rightly labeled a crisis. \nTo discuss the direction of housing post-election\, we’re delighted to welcome range of speakers to explore how we can build for the future. \nThis event will coincide with the launch of our latest paper Local Place Partnerships\, which will put forward the case for institutional change and propose a new body that can enable local authorities to coordinate housebuilding and create thriving communities. \nTo attend this event\, please register via the event page. \ndavid.fagleman@respublica.org.uk  or 0203 543 8148. \n  \nKindly supported by: \n       \n
