Event date
About this event
This webinar will present key findings from the first phase of the DICE project, a 2.5-year research study based at the University of Bristol in collaboration with ILC and the Housing Learning and Improvement Network (Housing LIN). This phase covers a survey of 700+ residents aged 60+ currently living in housing schemes across England and southeast Wales. Findings will inform housing practitioners and officers, providers, professionals in health and social care working with older adults, and policymakers.
The webinar will also feature a panel discussion with Housing LIN and Brunelcare, a Bristol-based housing provider, to discuss the implications of the research findings for the housing with care sector, including in the context of the challenges due to COVID-19.
