Event Details

Join us for the CHA South West Meeting on May 1st!


This regional event will inform CHA members about policy changes regarding children's residential care, and help shape CHA's responses and activities.


Key areas of focus will include:


  • What do market reforms mean for you?
  • Regional Care Cooperatives and why they matter
  • Staying Close
  • Workforce: Recruitment, CPD and remuneration
  • New forms of provision, including Community Secure and innovative new residential models
  • Frameworks, Contracts and Fee Uplifts

This event will also provide an opportunity to shape the form and content of your regional events for the year ahead. These events are vital for CHA to capture your views, experiences and observations of sector challenges and successes.
