Working in Partnership with Statutory Services (Local Authorities & NHS) - Strategic Engagement, Collaboration and Getting Support
This is an introductory session aimed at VCSE CEOs/ Leadership Teams, to look at how to achieve effective engagement between the VCSE sector and statutory services through building relationships, fostering collaboration, and working together to address community needs and achieve common goals.
