HACT and NHC online social value conference is back and bigger than ever for 2024, join us to be part of the future of social value.
2024 marks a significant year in social housing. With an election due in the coming months, an ongoing housing and homelessness crisis, and daily (often negative) stories about poor housing and experiences, social and affordable housing is clearly on the agenda. Given this, what is the impact on managing expectations, the ability to prioritise and do board members have the skills they need to respond?
We will be joined by Yvonne Leishman, former President of the Chartered Institute of Housing who will share her thoughts with us around this before we move into breakout rooms to hear about what is on your mind, on your agendas and how we can help you in the Board room.
For this session we will be joined by Mushtaq Khan, Chief Executive of Housing Diversity Network (HDN), he will cover the role of boards in terms of equality and diversity, as well as sharing the background of the recent survey Housing Diversity Network conducted with board members around Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) policy and champions, insights gained from the survey and examples of best practice. A great opportunity to gain important insights and engage with and learn from sector colleagues.
