Hosted by The House Magazine on Thursday, 16 th October 2008 to be held in Westminster .

In response, the government has implemented new measures and strategies to not only address the increasing need for such housing but to ensure the highest standards in service provision.
Participants at this Westminster Briefing Conference will have the opportunity to discuss and debate the current and future challenges for social housing practitioners and providers, share examples of best practice, and consider the way forward. Please refer to the above agendas for further details.
