Beyond Service-land – New approaches to reducing social isolation and promoting meaningful relationships.
2018-05-10 10:00 - 15:00 | Future Inn, Cardiff, Future Inn, Cardiff
Learning Disability Wales Seminar
Learning Disability Wales would like to invite you to a special one day event looking at new approaches to reducing social isolation and promoting meaningful relationships for people who have a learning disability.
Most people with a learning disability say friendships and relationships are important to them. In reality though many people find themselves socially isolated and facing barriers to making and developing new friendships and relationships and many support services and agencies struggle to enable those they support to benefit from this most normal aspect of life.
This event will look at examples of how organisations are taking new approaches to help people with a learning disability develop their social life, make friends and have relationships. There will also be inspiring and informative presentations and a chance to look at examples and issues in more detail in smaller workshops.
By attending this event you will gain ideas and strategies to help you to put the principles of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act into action through:

Voice and control – putting the individual and their needs, at the centre of their care, and giving them a voice in, and control over reaching the outcomes that help them achieve well-being.
Prevention and early intervention – increasing preventative services within the community to minimise the escalation of critical need.
Well-being – supporting people to achieve their own well-being and measuring the success of care and support.
Co-production – encouraging individuals to become more involved in the design and delivery of services.

2018-04-28 10:00 - 15:30 | Cardiff University School of Social Sciences, Cardiff, CF10 3WT, Cardiff University School of Social Sciences, Cardiff, CF10 3WT
The focus of the conference will be ‘Tackling violence against women in Wales’
A UK-wide legal framework for tackling violence against women is to be examined from the perspective of what it means for Wales at a conference in Cardiff.
The Istanbul Convention, created by the Council of Europe, is aimed at preventing violence against women and domestic violence. It has been signed by almost 40 countries.
The UK Government signed the Convention in 2012 but has not yet ratified it. It is committed to ratification but says that amendments to domestic law – to take extra-territorial jurisdiction over a range of offences – are necessary before this can be done.
The Cardiff Conference organised by the Wales Assembly of Women, an independent campaigning organisation, will hear from a range of experts about how the Istanbul Convention can be embraced in Wales.
Wales Assembly Women Chair Professor Jackie Jones, an internationally recognised expert in human rights for women, will kick off the debate with why the Istanbul Convention is important in Wales.
Other speakers include Yasmin Khan, Welsh Government National Advisor for Violence against Women, Gender-based Violence, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence and representatives from Welsh Women’s Aid and the Equality and Human Rights Commission who will look at how the framework will work on the ground.
Historian Dr Rachel Lock-Lewis of USW will look at What difference did the vote make? 100 years of Women in Politics in Wales. The Audrey Jones Awards for Research by Women will be presented for research that looks at Women who choose not to have children and Gender and low pay.
The Great Leap Forward: Embracing the Istanbul Convention in Wales to end violence against women and girls will be held at Cardiff University School of Social Sciences, Cardiff, CF10 3WT on Saturday 28 April, 10am – 3.30pm.
