Living Well Community of Practice Launch

Hi,

On 16th May 2013 Canterbury Christchurch University and the English Centre for Practice Development hosted an event to launch a Kent and Medway Community of Practice for those that work with people with learning disabilities and those that advocate on their behalf.

The launch was an inclusive event and packed with activities to enable our community to think about what might be possible if we all worked together!

A draft purpose, objectives and actions will be forthcoming for everyone to comment on.

In the meantime please check what people said about the event on twitter  

There will also be a some photos from the event posted here soon!

We would like this site to be a place for the community to come together. We’ll see how that may work!

Thanks,

Daniel Marsden and the CoP Team.
