Network Forum Event a Success

Urban Futures hosted another successful Employ ULV Network Forum event on Tuesday 7th November 2006 at Haringey City Learning Centre in Tottenham. The event was well attended by the three local authorities, partners and providers.

Martin Tucker from London Borough of Haringey Chaired the event. The aim of the day was to provide attendees with information on the strategic ‘new vision’ for the Upper Lee Valley, the opportunity to feed into the Employ ULV Evaluation and to influence the development of the Employ ULV Forward Strategy.

John McGill from North London Strategic Alliance (NLSA) delivered an informative presentation on the New Vision for the Upper Lee Valley and Patricia Salami from the London Development Agency highlighted the outcomes of the LDA Single Programme review in the Upper Lee Valley.

SQW, the company conducting the evaluation of Employ ULV, presented the initial findings of the evaluation and key points for the Employ Forward Strategy to consider were put forward by Steve Delaney from Urban Futures.

Delegates had the opportunity to participate in the process after the morning break. The forum was split into three workshops, and the attendees were asked to share their views on Employ ULV; what worked, what didn’t work and priorities for the future – all the comments were collated by SQW and have subsequently supported the first stage of the evaluation. 

Overall, the event was extremely successful with one attendee commentating “As usual a professional and well organised event that effectively updated people, allowed them to share their views and influence future plans.”
