Too Flexible or Too Formal?

Hosted by the Healthwatch Development PartnershipA session to explore the boundaries, roles and responsibilities of volunteering and governance roles at the local level.

The session will address:

• Accountability & Representation - How do we balance keeping a check with keeping a voice?
• Capacity - Rolling back the state? How can volunteers effectively exercise their new community rights?
• Responsibility - How loose can the red tape get?
• Defining community interest - How do we balance door-step issues with city wide priorities? How do we reflect them and “sense check” them?

The first half of the session will comprise snapshots of governance from organisations within the city and the second half will be an interactive exercise to test potential governance models for Healthwatch Portsmouth.

Monday, 28th January 2013 from 10:00 to 13:00
