Answer to some of the most asked questions about the forum
The forum meetings give you a chance to meet with other practitioners, share ideas and good practice and build your networks and contacts. It's also a chance to have your say about what is happening in the city and nationally.
The forum meets bi-monthly at venues across all parts of the city.
There will usually be a few presentations based on the forum's theme, and a chance to break into workgroups or discussion groups to look at certain aspects in more detail. There will normally be an update on welfare reform. Forum meetings last for 2 hours.
The forum tries to cover a wide range of topics. Recently, themes have included the creative industries, The Work Programme, Employer Engagement, and there is a regular slot for Welfare Reform updates.
