Going for Gold - Raising Standards

NASHiCS - National Learning & Development Forum, 27 - 28 June Daventry

Social care is moving through a time of constant scrutiny, everyone who is involved with health and safety knows that all too well and at times like this we all need to be kept up to date and alert to fresh thinking.

This year’s forum will share best practice, challenge current standards and debate the way forward for effective health and safety.

There will be lots of opportunities to network at the pre-forum awards dinner, breakfast, lunch and coffee breaks where you’ll be able to exchange ideas with like-minded professionals doing the same job as you.
