This event will be an amazing immersive experience, looking at a series of interventions including specialist service live simulations from the MOJ and Home Office. The live simulations will be used as a platform to explore resilience, adaptability, and cross-sectoral collaboration. This event will reflect on leadership in critical situations and interactions to deliver this kind of public sector delivery.

If you are not involved in specialist services, this will allow you to test your ability to perform in these situations and experience best practice from those colleagues for whom this is their day job, alongside building better understanding of the pressures facing Operational Delivery colleagues and cross-sector partners. It will be delivered jointly with senior leaders in the civil service which we hope will be extremely productive for your conversations and building relationships.

Registration will close on 2nd February 2025.
