Next Steps

On February 9^th there will be a one-day virtual event with a range of invited stakeholders to 

• Share examples of good practice for all forms of day opportunities and respite care for adults and children with complex needs 
• Share the findings of the review 
• Collectively discuss what sustainable changes have been made and what additional support might be needed from WG and other key stakeholders to progress the transformation of day opportunities and respite care, post pandemic.   

During the week beginning the 27^th February and the 6^th March, there will also be undertaking series of focus groups with commissioners and providers from across the service groups being considered in this project.
