About this session
Join us for a bite-sized session about a form of social care that is helping to bridge the gap between children's and adult social care: ‘Shared Lives’.
Shared Lives is fast gaining recognition, featuring in 2023 reports from the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS), the Government's Putting People at the Heart of Social Care report and the Social Work Future campaign.
