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.
