Care, support, independence: stakeholder events toolkit (1st September 2008)
The Government is undertaking an extensive period of engagement between May and November 2008 about the long-term future of England’s care and support system. As part of the engagement process, the Government wants to involve stakeholders in discussions about how the system can meet the challenges of the future. Materials have been developed to help organisations to lead discussions with colleagues and other people in their networks so that their opinions can inform the debate.
