Webinar: inspiring change in children's social care

This is a recording of our webinar on how to inspire change in the children’s social care sector. It includes first-hand accounts from three Fellows and the head of the Coram Innovation Incubator, sharing their experiences of creating successful change in a range of settings for children's social care.

A Churchill Fellowship is a life-changing opportunity to pursue your own vision for change in your community or profession, based on exploring best practice and innovations around the world.

Our dedicated programme of Fellowships focussed on children and young people with experience of care is offered in partnership with Coram and the Hadley Trust. All UK adult citizens are eligible, regardless of qualifications, background or age.
