This will be the first stakeholder event held by Herefordshire Council’s new Children’s
Wellbeing Directorate. Director Jo Davidson and Assistant Director Chris Baird will host
the session, which will offer providers and community groups from a range of sectors and
localities a great opportunity to explore the future of children’s wellbeing in Herefordshire.
In these challenging financial times, the role of the public sector is changing dramatically
and this event is the starting point for working with stakeholders to explore the challenges and opportunities these changes present to communities, businesses, voluntary organisations and service users.
We are particularly keen to explore how to enable organisations in the leisure, culture,
health and community sectors to diversify and partner with current providers in order to
deliver a broad range of services and activities across Herefordshire.
The event will:

Give an overview of the commissioning principles and priorities of the new directorate

Look at options for how we can do things differently in the future

Include guest speakers
 Present a great opportunity to meet and network with local businesses, community
groups, business support organisations and Herefordshire Council officers.

Give attendees the opportunity to shape future sessions
