Who is the Event for?
This
event is designed to develop the skills and knowledge of staff who work
in sheltered or supported housing and allied professions such as control
centre staff, community support services, etc.
It is
designed to enable delegates to gain a greater insight into the purpose
and function of sheltered/supported housing and to develop a broader
knowledge as to the history, development and changing role of
sheltered/supported housing. Delegates will have the opportunity to
evaluate how specialist housing differs from general housing provision
and debate whether such specialist housing services succeed in promoting
and enabling independence or create a separation within the community
leading to a feeling of institutionalism.
It also
provides delegates with the opportunity to learn more about the origins
and growth of social housing as we know it today and consider the links
this may have in laying the foundations for the birth of specialist
housing services such as sheltered and supported housing.
A range
of training methods will be used in delivering the event content. This
will assist in ensuring effective input of event material. Participants
will be encouraged to take an active part in each session.
