Influence Policy

Network with people who are at the forefront of policy-making
Just last year, the conference purpose was to ‘bring the forgotten sector’ together. That has already changed. We are no longer forgotten. Now the hard work begins. Through collaboration we need to ensure policy positively impacts providers, children and their families. By attending the Club Central conference, you are helping to inform the movers and shakers who develop policy. The Department for Education will be sharing their an update on the DfE National Wraparound Programme and will have a stand in the exhibitor area.There is not a better way to umderstand, prepare for or influence policy.
