Professional Networks
Our networks are chaired by senior leaders, with a relevant professional background, from across the membership. Network meetings seek to:
- Identify the priorities of members for VODG to champion these views at the highest levels by harnessing a collective expert voice that is authoritative and informed by experience.
- Provide the inside track on sector developments through timely and accessible information and engaging speakers.
- Develop peer networking, including opportunities to share ideas, good practice, concerns and solutions with people working in a similar context.
- Engage, inspire and spark positive change for people using services and providers. Where there is a strong collective voice, VODG members will take a stand together to make a positive difference.
- Act as central point of contact for Government, regulators, policy makers and other organisations through which disability, care and support providers can be consulted in a systematic way.
- Use research and intelligence gathering to evidence change and contribute to sector knowledge.
