Firstly we would like to thank everyone who submitted a workshop proposal for this year’s Annual Conference. The standard has been very high and we will be in touch with you shortly to confirm if your proposal has been successful.
We have a specific request for a workshop on Transition: Children to Adulthood and ask that you consider submitting a proposal . This workshop would run on Day 1. Anyone interested in facilitating a workshop of 95 minutes is asked to forward a brief proposal on the attached form. All workshops should take account of the conference aims (see below) and focus on sharing good practice ‘real-life’ experiences. We particularly welcome workshop proposals delivered in partnership with people with a learning disability and/or family carers[1].All workshops should have no more than 5 co-facilitators.
This is an opportunity for you to share innovations and best practice across the sector.
Workshop Proposals forms should be submitted by email to Stephen Walker before 29th January 2016.
[1] Each workshop will receive one free day place (9.00 am – 5.00 pm) at the conference.
Focusing on Bamford this conference will:
- take stock of developments so far and the vision for the future
- explore what is and isn’t working
- showcase best practice in achieving positive outcomes
- examine the role of leadership in creating a “can do” culture to support real change.
