Provider Forums
Provider Forums are a networking opportunity for Adult Social Care Providers and Havering to meet in-person.
They are free to attend and provide the opportunity to discuss operational issues, system and council updates, have topical discussions, and Q and A sessions and for providers to have their say.
The forums are held locally and take place four times a year and are chaired by Havering Care Association and Care Providers Voice (CPV).

By becoming a member, you will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with both the Local Authority and fellow providers, ensuring your voice is central to shaping future care provision.
Membership offers exclusive benefits, including access to regular networking events, and professional development resources.
