The Blackpool We Want for Our Children

The objective of this one-day conference is to:

• Discuss with local people the Blackpool that they want for themselves, their children and grandchildren, drawing on similar conversations elsewhere in England.
• Encourage local people to identify what skills, knowledge and insights they bring to helping to create that future.
• Learn from the priorities that people identify and discuss how progress can be measured over time to help achieve that future – both in terms of outcomes and of the local community contribution.
• Share some insights, challenges and opportunities drawn from the work of the Centre for Early Childhood Development and A Better Start programme.
