Sitra Annual Policy Conference and AGM 2012: Coming off the ropes?
8 February 2012, Resource for London
FREE to Sitra Members
2012 will be another critical year for our sector. The housing care and support world has undergone a significant period of change. Although backed into a corner, providers and commissioners have continued to demonstrate much resilience and ingenuity in the face of adversity. The challenge is on for our sector to re-group, and in 2012 to begin to make a comeback and to come off the ropes fighting strong.
Sitra’s Annual General Meeting will take place during the lunch break, at which time attendees will also have an opportunity to attend a one-to-one ‘helpline surgery’, or catch up with the fantastic Street Stories exhibition from St Mungo’s – the result of an oral history project with rough sleepers.
The event is free for Sitra members, however places are limited, so secure yours today.

This ties in directly with our links to and expertise in housing, housing support and engagement with key Government agendas around personalisation, payment by results and engagement.
As a new organisation, we continue to offer high quality, competitively priced training, and now offer an extended portfolio of over 300 courses, covering an impressive range of the skills and knowledge and practice required by staff and teams in the housing, support and care sector, and our members now have access to an even wider pool of specialist consultants and trainers.
All courses are available inhouse or as part of our public training programme and consultancy support is available. We are delighted with the positive impact that this union has bought to the organisation, and in 2012, we look forward to continuing to support the sector and the clients that we serve.
