Piloting the Liberated Method to support people to thrive.

Curious and furious.

[Changing Futures Northumbria @CFNorthumbria]

Today we launch our Liberating Public Services conference which will be held on 21st March 2024 at Hilton Gateshead Newcastle.

Registrations are now open; we are keen to welcome decision makers, policy makers, funders and commissioners from across the public services landscape.

[Donna Hall @ProfDonnaHall]

I’ve been to a lot of events that aim to build social movements for change but never anything as bloody brilliant as @CFNorthumbria yesterday in Gateshead: thoughtful, challenging, rooted in practice with huge lessons for systems & organisations in how to form your rebel alliance

[Mark Adam Smith @MarkAdamSmith]

Well it’s the morning after the day before and I feel compelled to thanks the CFN staff (esp Bev), speakers, panellists and everyone that attended our conference. It was a blast! The nicest, furious bunch you’ll ever meet. Keep an eye out for a conf summary soon @CFNorthumbria

Quote of the day…

[Lucy Trueman @LucyTrue]

At the #LiberatingPublicServices conference in Gateshead this morning. Lots of talk about relationships not transactions, creating a movement and power. It’s not all fluffy though, some honest reflections about how tough this stuff is! @HilaryCottam @ProfDonnaHall

[Rob Parnaby @DJBobbyJP79]

Thanks to @MarkAdamSmith and all the @CFNorthumbria team for a great event today. Inspirational panel with @HilaryCottam @ProfDonnaHall and @HelenWBTeam
And informative breakout sessions with @RonCharlton7 Andy Cox and Rob Webb from @SignalUK…looking forward to the next event!

Unlocking public services... desperately seeking consistency. Great summary from Hannah Hesselgreaves #LiberatingPublicServices

[Agenda Alliance @Agenda_alliance]

We're at the @CFNorthumbria conference today, thinking about #liberatingpublicservices and ways of building and centering meaningful relationships across services.

Andy explaining the ways in which the Lifemap tool can be used to reflect on progress through the work #LiberatingPublicServices

[LittleHen33 @LittleHen33]

#LiberatingPublicServices asking ‘how do we recruit for values?’

@JamesTCobbler has great approaches to this.

Too much talk not enough practice @HilaryCottam on the current relational practice environment

[Left @WilsoRob]

Closing session co-hosted by Hannah Hesselgreaves and Mark Smith. Two languages of public service systems at the @CFNorthumbria conference risk, intregration, leadership vs learning, improvement and change. We need coherence between them #LiberatingPublicServices

[Matthew Kalman Mezey @MatthewMezey]

Such an inspiring event - feels like the next step will be to fully bring out all the energy and connections from the room itself. Perhaps using Liberating Structures? @Lyse_e and @juanitaguidera might have some brilliant ideas to enable that... #LiberatingPublicServices

[Scott Hunter @scotthunter1973]

#liberatingpublicservices this is why we are furious, one person’s journey

[Changing Futures Northumbria @CFNorthumbria]

Really invigorating first set of seminars, lots to think about! #liberatingpublicservices

[Left @WilsoRob]

The stories from the data are a sign of the individual tragedy of repeated missed opportunities to help improve people's lives #LiberatingPublicServices

[LittleHen33 @LittleHen33]

Frances Donnelly asks ‘What is it we’re in the business of changing!’

Surely the only thing we can change with any certainty is ourselves. In the hope of influencing change in others as role models, leaders and fellow humans.

Looking at the data from a relational perspective to help understand a person's experience of failure demand is crucial. There are 368 000 people across England with multiple complex needs...do the maths. Time to change #LiberatingPublicServices
