“I always describe it as like joining a family. When you join, you go on a really rich learning journey because you’re building on the experience of other Network members. The culture is so generous about sharing those experiences, those lessons, what’s gone well and what’s gone less well. You also get the opportunity to contribute to the learning of others.”
Joe Micheli, Head of Communities, City of York Council
“Being part of the Network means we can access guidance, knowledge and wisdom from colleagues across England and Wales who truly understand the uniqueness of Local Area Coordination. The Network is full of like-minded people, who are happy to share stories, experiences, humour and above all passion for the approach. It’s a lifeline when you most need it.”
Claire Monmirelle, Operational and Delivery Manager – Local Area Coordination, Havering London Borough Council
