In this issue, we hear about key themes, outcomes and opportunities from the recent Local Area Coordination Network Conference.
We also welcome Alex Fox and Sian Lockwood as new directors of the Local Area Coordination Network.
Our thanks to Cally Boardman, who reflects on her first few months as a Local Area Coordinator in Suffolk.
Welcome to New Areas!
It’s really exciting to welcome City of York, Waltham Forest and Solihull to the Local Area Coordination Network.
Building on the learning – it’s about people.
We are now building on the learning alongside local people, families, communities and services incurrent areas.
What’s important?
Taking time to build a trusting relationship (rather than assessing, intervening and “fixing”) focusing on building and pursuing a good life; connection with your local community ; a focus on positive aspirations, gifts, skills and relationships, the power of genuine community inclusion, leadership and decision making in recruiting Local Area Coordinators.
