Webinar - Towards resilience: making community matter in social care, Tuesday 23 March 12-1pm
How can we build a better care system?
Think Local Act Personal are delighted to team up with Local Trust who run Big Local for this online event, which forms part of their towards resilience series.
Expert speakers from social care and a representative from a Big Local area will explore the role of community in helping to transform the sector so it works better for everyone.
What is the webinar about?
Covid 19 exposed dangerous flaws in the social care sector; at the same time it highlighted the role of community, where we have seen local people come together to look out for one another with a growth in mutual aid groups and volunteering opportunities.
How can we learn from this experience? Can we start to reimagine a social care system that gives more power to our communities?
TLAP and Local Trust who manage Big Local will run a webinar to explore how the crisis has highlighted the shortfalls in the care sector and how communities can play a crucial role in using their experiences of the pandemic to transform social care so that it works for everyone.
