The pandemic has highlighted the need for services delivered by local and central government to be in sync if they are to be effective in the community.
Too often we have seen confusion and delays if there is no coordination between local and central service delivery. Improving this collaboration can strengthen wellbeing in communities.
This webinar looks at how wellbeing can be improved when we harness resources and collaborate effectively to sustain resilience and wellbeing in our communities.
