Across Europe, we have seen a growing emphasis on care provided in the community putting personal needs and relationships at the heart of social service practice. Policies are increasingly aiming to transform health and social care services in order to reach people in their homes and communities. The focus has also shifted to early, effective interventions for children and their families, young people, and proactive support for people with long-term health conditions and their families. Rethinking planning, implementation and evaluation of community care, the conference aims to inspire with examples, aspire for change, and dare for better outcomes for children and families, young people, older people, migrants, people with mental health problems or disabilities.
