The Human Rights and Social Care Forum is a series of events happening twice a year (online) for sharing ideas, knowledge and debate between people drawing on social/health care, providers, researchers, advocacy groups and anyone interested in the broad topic of human rights and social care internationally.
With this Forum, we also want to generate good practice points on how to make (online) events as inclusive as possible. A lot of the work is happening in the background. For example:
- We are reaching out to people drawing on social care and inviting them to shape future Forum events, to actively contribute and participate. This means that the event schedule may change over time.
- We are seeking out people’s needs for the Forum to make it the best experience for them as possible. For example, we will have captions on, we will ask people to leave their videos on when they speak if possible. PLEASE GET IN TOUCH TO TELL US ABOUT YOUR NEEDS AND PREFERENCES.
- The Forum itself can be accessed and left at any point. We will make recordings available and there will be a feature for people to share comments and ideas after each event.
- Importantly, we know that there is a lot of work to be done to make this social care Forum one that is by, with and for the people drawing on social care. We won’t do it perfectly but we will strive for perfection by constantly learning about what went well and what could be done more of.
