Programme information

In the current climate, the social care sector faces unprecedented challenges...

Funding pressures have been present for years, but the added complications of the National Living Wage and the ongoing confusion around sleep-ins run the risk of creating a "perfect storm" for the sector, with some providers unable to see a way forward for their services.

So what is the reality of the financial challenge? How are we commissioning with these challenges in mind? How do we change the way we work to adapt to these threats?

 At this half-day briefing we will hear from:

  • An expert on the financial settlements from Westminster and how that could impact on Wales;
  • A representative from the WLGA, who will share how local authorities are responding to these challenges;
  • A provider sharing their concerns and sharing some best practice ideas from the sector;
  • A researcher who can challenge the traditional ways of supporting individuals, and stimulate ideas to take forward

We will also be generating questions from people who use services and their families.
