Community Care Live 18th November 2009

Business design centre Islington

Five Rivers is pleased to announce we are proud to be the event sponsor for Children's and Families for Community Care this year these events are really valuable occasions where the whole social care sector comes together. 

It presents the opportunity to discuss with other members of the social care profession current issues such as change in policy, legislation, best practice and other new initiatives. Exhibiting enables us to talk to the people who matter - the people who use our services - we can find out how our services are viewed, what is working well and how we can meet changes in the sector. 

For us the highlight is definitely the personal face to face interaction and events like this are the perfect forum to discuss how Five Rivers can deliver high impact sector leading services

We are also please to announce we will be delivering the following workshop:

Authentic Warmth for Looked-After Children:
A Social Pedagogy Model with a UK context

This workshop will showcase how local authorities can improve outcomes for looked-after young people through the adoption of a social pedagogy practice model. It will include an evaluation from a local authority that has adopted the model; what positive benefits have been enjoyed by their young people and how the model has empowered their workforce.

Delegates who attend this workshop will:

Consider how the model encourages the growth in the relationship between the carer and the young person  Learn how to give young people a voice in their care planning

Hear how the model can translate across both the public and private sectors

We look forward to seeing you there!
