Enhancing Local Democracy Conference 2008
Date: 18 & 19 June 2008
Time: 10.00am
Venue: London House, Goodenough College, London WC1
This was the 3rd annual Enhancing Local Democracy Conference and this year the event included an evening drinks reception and meal on the 18th June. The dinner provided a social and networking opportunity, with Simon Hoggatt as after dinner speaker.
The overarching theme of the conference on the 19th June was the implementation of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act and the implications for local authorities, concentrating on partnership working, the enhanced role of scrutiny and the empowerment of local communities.
The conference was aimed at councillors and officers, in particular officers involved in developing and supporting frontline councillors in their representative role, such as Democratic Services Officers, Scrutiny Officers, officers with responsibility for neighbourhood or area arrangements, officers responsible for consulting and engaging the community and those engaged in policy development.
The next conference will be held in Spring/Summer 2009. More information regarding this event will be available closer to the time.
