Resilience’ is people’s ability to successfully adapt and grow following challenging situations. Over the last 30 years, this ability has often been tested and ably demonstrated. But what have we learnt from these experiences? Is the legislation we have in place fit for purpose? Do our current structures support the needs of modern day society? And what can we do to ensure we continuously adapt to the diverse needs of people?
As a sector, do we need to bounce forward into new realms and learn to be more adaptable as our circumstances evolve and change? Will that support stronger resilience, and in turn better equip us for the challenges if the next 30 years?
The past doesn’t equal the future the world is changing and the ability and need for adaptability to “change with the times” is key.
Our conference programme will take you on a journey of discovery from frameworks to new approaches and from adapting learning from the past to face the new challenges of the future.
