European Social Services Conference

28th European Social Services Conference

Rethink, Inspire, Dare Community Care

The 28th edition of the European

Social Services Conference

(ESSC) will be hosted by the City of Hamburg and supported by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.

At the 28th European Social Services Conference, we are inviting public authorities, professionals, care providers, businesses and community organisations to join a discussion on re-imagining how we help people who need support to lead better lives within their communities.

Join us to discuss four pillars of community care:

Workforce: Social service professionals are key in transforming community care. How should social services approach training, retention, and wellbeing?

Financing: It is possible to get value for money when investing in community care. Do we need to rethink the financing of community care?

Ethics: What is the role of professional ethics in quality care? What does empowerment in care means for professionals and people using services?

Technology: New forms of IT have the potential to improve care, from planning through delivery to evaluation. How can technology help in rethinking community care?
