Voluntary Sector and Social Services Workshop

 

A successful workshop was held on June 12th to look at how Social Services and the Voluntary Sector can work together more effectively, particularly focusing on the commissioning process.

 

Over 60 people attended the day, and groups of people from both sectors discussed what needs to be improved, with suggestions as to how this can be achieved. The key priorities will be brought together into an action plan for the future.

 

There were three presentations at the beginning of the workshop giving: a national perspective from Martyn Palfreman, SociaI Services Improvement Agency; a Vale perspective from Simon Salter, Social Services Manager; and a provider perspective from Ron Woods, Innovate Trust. Those presentations are available below for your information:
