Tackling homelessness & rough sleeping - speakers: Lord Kerslake, OHID, & Centre for Homelessness Impact - WSPF policy conference - 28th March 2022
For those working in Homelessness and Rough Sleeping this may be an interesting conference to attend. The email, below, sets out speakers and the agenda for a very full morning.
At £210.00 + VAT it is not cheap but somewhat cheaper than having to travel to London to hear such a panel of speakers. The event will be recorded and sent out to delegates.
However, to get the best value it may be an idea for you to gather a team together so that you can view in relay, under one registration. That way the “zoom myopic torpor” won’t take over and you are all on form to maximise information assimilation. (in other words you won’t be drifting so will hear what is being said and able to take sensible notes!)
