Daniel Silver (confirmed)
Director, Social Action and Research Foundation
“Co-producing social justice”
This will assess the government's recently published Social Justice Strategy and provide some insights into how this could be successfully delivered in our communities. This will involve the notion that individual responsibility requires wider social responsibility in order to create the right conditions for an effective and accountable welfare state, which promotes active equality at a local level and in which the voice of those living in poverty is truly valued. A transformative model of co-producing public services is required to deliver on a social justice strategy that is comprehensive, integrative, and programmatic.

Mark Darby (confirmed)
Chief Executive, Achieve More
“Rejuvenating Broken Britain”
Broken Britain can't be rejuvenated by working alone, no matter how good one individual or organisation has been in the past. With an austere economic climate, agenda of open public services, payment by results and outcomes-based commissioning, we need to work better with others. Whilst there are many forces inhibiting this vision, there are exciting opportunities to harness collective assets too.
