16th September saw the first meeting of the reformed London Detached Forum. The meeting was held at Camden Detached Project, 218 Eversholt Street, NW1 1BD (close to Euston, Kings Cross or Mornington Crescent Stations)
In an interesting meeting we looked at a variety of subjects including the demands placed upon detached work, the challenge of reaching targets, and the integration of youth services.
What became clear is that Detached work is viewed very differently across the Borough’s, but that we all face common frustrations and that working coming together gives us an opportunity to share experiences and ways of overcoming issues.
The next meeting is on the 2nd December again at the Camden Project 1.30pm to 3.30pm Any detached workers working in London are welcome to come along (though to enable us to book the right size room can you e-mail us first on pdavies1@westminster.gov.uk or tania@elevateuk.org)
