Housing & Support Sector Briefing
We launched The Briefing in the summer of 2006 and, 8 issues later, it has reached a staggering circulation figure of in excess of 10,000. From Issue 9, due out in March 2008, we will be making The Briefing available on a paid subscription basis. The cost will be £50 + VAT for 1 year (6 issues). If you are already on our circulation list you will automatically receive a subscription invitation by email. If you are not on our list please email briefing@supportsolutions.co.uk and we will ensure you are included.
The Briefing is a professionally produced electronic magazine delivered by email. It contains cutting edge analysis, comment and opinion on the issues that matter to the sector. Contributions come from Support Solutions consultants, external experts commissioned for specific issues and any contributors who want to submit well-researched and argued material or even just a cogently constructed rant about something of professional or personal significance in housing-related support.
IThe Briefing is published every 2 months and reports on developments and announcements of interest to people involved in housing as well as containing high quality articles on topical issues.
"Local Area Agreements: Brave New World?"
Support Solutions has been of the view since mid-2005 that the housing support sector in general and Supporting People in particular is facing a process of evolution, hopefully NOT revolution, and change. The primary vehicle of this change comes in the form of Local Area Agreements which will see the ring fence on Supporting People Grant lifted and the concept of housing-related support mixed in with a much wider range of functions within each local authority area.
How should Supporting People Grant funded providers respond? How should they position themselves for this change? What does it all mean? To answer these questions and more book on one of our 16 half-day events scheduled for April 2008. You can find out more, download a flyer and booking form by visiting our Training page.
