Government Events Reviews 

Great, well organised and interesting event!

’It was very informative and raised areas for more research’’

A well organised event. Great to see some organisations taking a real and active lead on this agenda and sharing their learnings.

Speakers with a wide range of experience drew attention to the extent of loneliness, its various causes, and the difficulties in discovering lonely people and their needs. The speakers also described various initiatives designed to alleviate loneliness,, such as regular contact by telephone, help with online communication, and letter-writing by volunteers including children. As an active member of a large church (and nominated by the church to attend the event), it has provided useful information which is helping in the ministry of the church.

"Excellent event, highlighting great work, signposting to relevant reports and allowing time to reflect on how best to improve services for our patients’’

Excellent range of speakers covering multiple approaches and a really smooth and engaging delivery

I recently attend the webinar, The Increasing Awareness and Visibility of Disabilities in The Workplace which I found to be very well organised. Thank you!

I have attended a number of the online Government events and have been impressed every time. The speakers are interesting and thought provoking with excellent in depth subject knowledge. The organisation of the event, including the technology platform, ease of access and keeping to planned timing, is the best I've experienced. I look forward to joining more events in the future.

I attended the Achieving Gender Equality in the Workplace conference through Government Events and thought the event was really well organised. The speakers with really informative, not to mention inspirational. Thank you for a really thought provoking day!

‘Thoroughly enjoyable event. Very well facilitated and presented in current pandemic restrictions. Felt supported to hear of challenges others experience regarding the definition of Dual Diagnosis. Was greatly encouraged with the amazing initiatives being used to support people with substance use problems. In particular the Capital Card, and the value and effectiveness of engaging with service users in an allotment - as we are in the process of developing a similar project for our service, enhancing recreational and physical therapy interventions through gardening for service users. Well done everyone. And thank you. :)’

listening to the engaging speakers who gave fresh and useful information at this conference I was able to frame our response locally from the national context. The organisation and quality of the governments events conference was fantastic and certainly worth a day of my time.

Great company to work for. They really encourage people to share ideas. Colleagues are supportive and look forward to the future.

This was a very worthwhile event. The segment on practitioner Self-Care was of particular interest, an area which is often overlooked!

‘Thank you for a very useful day in which lots of information was shared and which could be adapted.’

‘This is the best safeguarding conference I have attended. It was thought provoking, insightful, informative and the speaker experiences including an international context was exceptional.’

The whole day was very informative and gave clear understanding of the increasing issues of loneliness and Isolation, and to really all work together to tackle loneliness, even if it is just checking in on someone, I particularly liked My Dear Friend’’

Great online event, well managed and hosted. Very informative and leaves a lot to think about

So refreshing to hear from a range of expert speakers with fascinating evidence on loneliness and initiatives that help people in innovative ways.
