Recent government publications and enactments promote the importance of partnership working as a means of securing ‘joined up solutions’ to ‘joined up problems’ and improving outcomes for vulnerable people at local level.
In doing so, the emphasis is on statutory agencies working more closely and effectively in partnership with the private sector, the voluntary sector and with users and carers – and ensuring that those who provide services do so to the highest of standards.
This event – intended for practitioners, managers, researchers and planning and evaluation staff – will engage participants in
a range of informative sessions that will include discussion of:
- the impact of recent legislation on practice
- researching the politics, ethics and pragmatism of partnerships
- local partnerships and agreements
- developing the ‘outcomes’ and performance agenda for children and for adults
- results based accountability and evidence informed practice
- user-driven service evaluation
Speakers have been drawn from government departments, local authorities, improvement agencies, inspectorates, the independent
sector and academia. As usual with SSRG events, sessions are intended to stimulate discussion and encourage networking.
