Training and Events – Calendar

Customer Services and EDI approach

This event will provide an opportunity to engage with Westmorland and Furness on two important, and related, issues: the development of a new customer strategy and an organisation wide approach to equalities, diversity and inclusion.

On both issues, Westmorland and Furness is committed to being customer and community focused and is keen to engage with the voluntary and community sector about issues it should consider in developing its approach with customers and people using council services, what good looks like whilst also gathering the views of key groups and stakeholders on the developing approach to EDI.

Come and join our lively and informative Action for Health event.

These events are always an opportunity to meet with other people from third sector organisations who have in interest in all things health and care in North Cumbria. The events are also a space to hear about the latest developments in relation to health and care and keep up to date with new initiatives, services and projects as they develop.
