From September 21st to 24th inspiring and thoughtful speakers from across the care and support sector will meet online to share their experiences of using, delivering and managing services in Wales.
They will be talking to MtM’s Jurors – fifteen members of the public who will ask them questions to get to the heart of what really matters in social care and how we can make that happen together.
At the end of the week the Jurors will produce a series of recommendations that will be presented to Welsh Government and shared with organisations across Wales.
MtM will be live-streaming the sessions so you can hear everything the Jurors hear; it will be an incredible opportunity to learn more about:
- Innovative services – how they came about and why they work
- How different organisations have responded to the pandemic
- What day to day life is like for people who are unpaid carers and for those who use support services – find out what makes their lives easier or more complicated
- The priorities of the public as the Jurors ask questions and get to the heart of matters
