New Cultures of Ageing: Socio-Cultural Narratives, Qualitative Methods & Researching
the Future
| Date(s) | 9-10 September 2010 |
| Organisation | An interdisciplinary conference
organized by the NDA-funded FCMAP Group of Investigators and by the BCCW Research Group,
Brunel University, London. |
| Location | Uxbridge
London
England |
| Details | Representations of ageing circulate
in culture and society, as part of a narrative which underwrites social experience;
impacting on identity, agency, attitudes, policy and quality of life in general.
Qualitative analysis of these narratives helps us to understand both ageing as it is
currently experienced and the emerging shifts in these representations that indicate
possible ways in which it may well be experienced in the future.
The Fiction and the Cultural Mediations of Ageing Project (FCMAP) based in the Brunel
Centre for Contemporary Writing (BCCW) is funded by a range of research councils and
administered by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and is part of a broad
initiative in a number of areas entitled New Dynamics of Ageing
(http://newdynamics.group.shef.ac.uk/). |

Tackling Social Exclusion: The Way Forward
| Date(s) | 29 September 2010 |
| Organisation | Inside Government |
| Location | London
England |
| Details | Social exclusion is an issue that
pervades many areas of society in the UK. It is a complex problem that combines factors
such as unemployment, poor skills, poor educational standards and family breakdown to
deny people a fair chance of succeeding in life. The economic downturn and subsequent
recession have made the issue of social exclusion even more pronounced as unemployment
has risen to 2.5 million, and GDP has shrunk by a record 6% in 18 months, which has
disproportionately hit those who were already in difficult social and economic
circumstances. As the recovery begins, the onus is on central and local government, as
well as the private and voluntary sectors to provide as much support as possible to
tackle social exclusion. |

Equality and Diversity in the 21st Century: Creating a Fairer Society
| Date(s) | 7 October 2010 |
| Organisation | Inside Government |
| Location | central London
England |
| Details | Creating a commitment to equality is
based on the understanding that equality is good for the individual, society and the
economy. Age discrimination alone is estimated to cost the UK economy £31 billion
annually and health inequalities cost the NHS an additional £5.5 billion every year.
Current inequality legislation covers four forms of discrimination - direct and indirect
discrimination, harassment and victimisation on the grounds of sex, race, sexual
orientation, religion or belief, age, disability and gender reassignment. The Equality
Bill received Royal Assent in April 2010. The new Act consolidates existing
anti-discrimination legislation into one piece of over-arching policy and extends
legislation to include the provision of goods, services and facilities. The impact of the
Act will resonate throughout the public and private sectors, with the main measures of
the Act expected to be implemented in October 2010.
Delegates at this forum will hear how the Equality Act will work in practice, the impact
on their organisation and what they can do to prepare for its full
implementation. |

Equality and Diversity Forum). |

Adult Social Care: Shaping the Workforce of the Future
| Date(s) | 13 October 2010 |
| Organisation | Inside Government |
| Location | central London
England |
| Details | The adult social care workforce is
the backbone of the country's care system. If we are to ensure that adults are looked
after in a way that preserves their health and well-being, it is vital that we have a
world class workforce that is skilled, dedicated, valued and supported to do its best.
In May 2010 the Department for Health announced the latest strategy for improving social
care in the UK. Initiatives include the creation of an independent Commission into
funding for long-term care; the Commission is expected to make its recommendations in
2011 on the future funding options for care services and the balance of responsibility
between individuals and the state. The Queen's Speech contained several provisions for
the delivery of adult social care, these include a pledge to ensure care is tailored to
individual needs and personalised budgets are offered to all users of care. The
government also aims to ensure preventative care is provided to those in need and greater
support is offered to carers. The coalition government has pledged to continue the
transformation of social care. This follows several initiatives launched by the former
government, including - the Adult Social Care Workforce Strategy which aimed to boost the
status of the social care workforce and the creation of the Social Work Task Force,
headed by Moira Gibb, which aims to drive forward social work reform. Growing demand for
services and public spending cuts will pose many challenges to social care reform.
Therefore, it is critical for the social care workforce to develop to meet the growing
needs of service users. |
| Speaker(s) | Chair: Phil Hope, (Former Minister
of State for Care Services). Glen Mason (Director of Social Care Leadership and
Performance, Department of Health); Dame Carol Black (National Director for Health and
Work, Cross-Government Health Work and Well-Being Strategy Unit); Professor Jill
Manthorpe, (Director, Social Care Workforce Research Unit, King's College London) and
