Capita’s 3rd National Learning Disabilities Conference
Supported by: Skills for Care, British Association of Social Workers and the General Social Care Council
With the launch of the Valuing People Now Summary Report on the 8th December, Paul Burstow the Minister of State for Care Services clearly defined the improvement of outcomes for people with learning disabilities in health, housing, and employment as a major priority for the Coalition Government. Capita’s 3rd Learning Disabilities Conference allows delegates to choose from three tailored streams in the afternoon focusing on the key areas of Health and Social Care, Employment and Housing mentioned in the report. Delegates will hear from experts in these fields and benefit from the knowledge of best practice case studies. This timely conference provides a vital opportunity for key stakeholders to assess the impact of the Government spending cuts on the landscape of benefits and care and examine how best to deliver frontline services in the face of such challenges.
