The National Children and Adult Services Conference is a must-attend event for councillors, directors, senior officers, directors of public health, policy makers and service managers, and any individuals or organisations with responsibilities for children and adult services in the statutory, voluntary and private sector.
The conference is the annual opportunity for those with an interest in social care, children’s services, education, health and related fields to network with peers and hear the very latest thinking on key policy and improvement agendas.
The conference will be held at the Bournemouth International Centre and the programme will consist of a mix of keynote and other significant plenary sessions by key players in the adult, children and education sectors. There will also be opportunities to take part in a variety of participatory breakouts and networking sessions.
