Community Led Support Spring Festival - Strengths Based Social Care in Leeds
Wednesday 17 May 11:30-12:30
Our annual two day spring festival returns for another year on 16 and 17 May. It brings together an exciting range of free, short online opportunities to hear about some of the great work happening across the network.
The series of hour long sessions are open to anyone working in the social care and health sector and will celebrate some of the great local initiatives happening across the Community Led Support network. Each session will demonstrate what is possible, despite the huge pressures across the sector. Attendees will discover a host of ideas and evidence that spotlights the principles of a community focused, strengths-based way of working.
Strengths Based Social Care in Leeds In 2014 Leeds committed to moving to a strengths-based culture, joined the CLS network in early 2015 and since then have worked to introduce and embed, deepen and broaden the approach to become ‘business as usual’ across all service areas including transitions. In this session, Rhona Neilson who was instrumental in shaping and developing the local changes will share her experiences, whilst Lucy Armstrong and Sian Bishop, two senior social workers within the Transitions team, will talk about how this approach is used to support young people who are transitioning between children’s and adults services and how it interlinks with the Preparing for Adulthood agenda.
All sessions will take place on Microsoft Teams and are free to attend, but advance booking should be made on this form.
