Event Details

Join us for the CHA South East Regional Meeting on November 1st, 2024 at the Mercure Newbury West Grange Hotel.


Network and expand your knowledge in a dynamic and engaging environment with fellow members, and receive key policy and regulatory updates at what is a pivotal time for our sector.


The Children's Homes Association are supporting the South East Regional Care Cooperative pathfinder. The Regional Care Cooperative (RCC) is one of two pilots that have been funded by the DfE, and the result of a recommendation from the Independent Review of Children's Social Care. There is a recent article on the announcements here.


This event will be the first of a series that will ensure providers' voices are heard when local authorities consider the future of commissioning in the region. There are significant opportunities for members in the region to increase their provision and improve partnership working. However, regional approaches have potential downsides. Because of this, it is essential that members attend this regional meeting.


IMPORTANT: We are limiting spaces to 2 attendees per member organisation, to help ensure as many organisations as possible can be represented. So please do coordinate with your colleagues when registering, and if your plans change and you are no longer able to attend, please let us know so that your space can be offered to others!


EVENING NETWORKING 31st October:Members are welcome to meet for dinner and networking from 7pm on Thursday 31st October, the evening before the meeting. Room rates: £139 for single occupancy B&B for a standard room / £149 single occupancy B&B for an executive room. Please quote CHA event when booking with the venue.


Don't miss this exciting event, we can't wait to see you there!
