Shaping the Future of Supported Accommodation: Driving excellence to achieve positive outcomes for young people in care.

The National Children’s Bureau (NCB) is excited to announce their free national conference series for supported accommodation providers and local authorities, to share the learning from the Sector Awareness and Provider Preparedness programme.

Taking place in London (Monday 18th March), Birmingham (Thursday 21st March), and Manchester (Wednesday 27th March), the Shaping the Future of Supported Accommodation Conference will feature keynote speeches from Ofsted and the National Children’s Bureau, with attendance from Department for Education officials, as well as afternoon workshops on a range of important topics exploring how to drive excellence in the supported accommodation sector.

The morning session will allow providers and local authorities to learn about the arrangements for inspection directly from Matthew Brazier, Project Director for Supported Accommodation at Ofsted, following the upcoming publication of the supported accommodation inspection guidance. Caroline Coady, Deputy Director for Social Care at NCB, will also share learning from providers and local authorities about the regulation of supported accommodation over the last fourteen months of the programme, as well as highlights from NCB’s catalogue of resources and learning tools.

The afternoon session will include a series of workshops looking to the future of how we can continue to drive improvements to practice in supported accommodation and ensure that young people in care receive the best possible support on their journey to adulthood.

The full agenda will be shared very soon, with details of our exciting external partners who will be delivering the afternoon workshops.
