Roundtable – Housing our Ageing Population: Planning Intelligence (HAPPI)
Event date
Event Information
We would like to invite you to a Housing LIN roundtable on Friday, 15 May 2020, in association with Tetlow King Planning, to secure greater collaboration across adult social care, planning, and housing locally to deliver better housing choices for an ageing population in the South West.
As set out in the Housing LIN recent/forthcoming report, Putting Older People First in the South West, the ageing population and greater numbers of older and disabled adults are heightening the imperative to develop Age-Friendly places and accessible housing, with the built environment being a key contributor to that agenda in the region. To address this, ADASS centrally are preparing a number of planned resources for commissioners and planners alike. The findings from this roundtable will therefore feed into these new resources.
The Topics to be explored:
1. How can national policy better support delivering more accessible homes and places and how, more locally, can we work together to develop communities that support a prevention agenda; maximising the opportunity for people to live independently whilst simultaneously providing efficiencies for citizens and the public purse.
2. Collaboration between Directors of Adult Social Services (DASSs) and their housing colleagues is increasingly common but the connection to the planning function is often less well developed. We will explore the challenge and identify ways in which collaboration and joint working can be improved for mutual benefit.
The results of our discussion will also be useful in contributing to the advice note ADASS hope to develop for Directors of Adult Social Services (which may also be useful to Directors of Planning).
