The National Children and Adult Services Conference (NCASC) brings together leaders and professionals from across local government, social care, health and education to share ideas, explore challenges and discuss the future of services for children, young people and adults.
Our 31ten team and partners
Join Joseph Dunton, Laura Power-Wharton, Rebecca Smith and Will Carruthers from 31ten, and connect with peers from across the sector and share experiences and perspectives.
We’re also delighted to have Richard Hills joining our team at NCAS this year. Richard will draw on his adult social care leadership to support conversations on commissioning, performance, practice and transformation.
Richard has worked with 31ten as a Deputy Director at both Bristol and Cambridgeshire Councils, and has just finished a year’s interim placement at Manchester City Council.
Getting started with local SEND reforms: Agreeing shared outcomes, forecasting need, and measuring progress
12th September, 10.35am – 11.05am. Stand E2, NCASC
On Thursday we have an exclusive session with our partners at Mime, hosted by Mime’s Joe Miller and Steve Preston.
The session will draw on Mime’s work with 15 local authorities, to share with local authority delegates key considerations on how to move from initial SEND reform plans to effective implementation, adapting their approach as plans develop.
Steve helps local areas understand future need, plan provision and build the evidence base for sustainable services. He led Mime’s SEND forecasting work with London Councils and worked with Wandsworth Council to develop Mime’s latest SEND projection model, used by 22 local authorities across England.
Joe leads Mime’s work supporting local areas to plan and deliver SEND reforms, bringing together robust analysis, realistic forecasts and clear measures of progress. He directly supported 15 local authorities to develop their initial Local SEND Reform Plans, giving him practical insight into the challenges facing local area partnerships as they move from planning to implementation.
Come and join us for the session, or pop by to say hello at stand E2. We’d love to hear what you’re working on and discuss how 31ten could support your service improvements and keep the focus on achieving better outcomes for local communities.
