The first Finders International Deputy Development Day<\/a> for local authorities is to take place next month on Thursday 14th<\/sup> September (9am to 3.30pm) at the Holiday Inn, Regents Park, London.<\/p>\n

The theme for the day is how to establish links between the public and private sectors, and speakers will discuss how the two can find ways of working together. The event is open to all local authorities in England and Wales.<\/p>\n

One of the issues to be discussed will be changes to welfare benefits, often a source of stress for clients, especially those who rely on disability benefits where the changes to personal independent payments are having a profound effect on some of the most vulnerable members of society.<\/p>\n

Tracy Atkinson, the welfare benefits and personal injury trust manager from Frenkel Topping, will be updating delegates on the changes and advising what can be done to assist their clients.<\/p>\n

Forensic investigator Paul Smith will be discussing his work that looks into elder abuse, while Alison Taylor from Frenkel Topping will outline the topic of investment for people in later life about funding care.<\/p>\n

The myths and mysteries surrounding the Senior Courts Costs Office are also on the agenda for the day. Local authorities often work for fixed fees but can apply for the costs to be assessed if more work is involved \u2013 giving them the potential to raise income.<\/p>\n

Representatives from the Office of the Public Guardian will be on hand to discuss the new OPG102 online submission system as well as representatives from the Department of Work and Pensions. We have invited representatives from the Court of Protection to attend the open forum in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

The day\u2019s agenda also includes a talk on what Finders International can offer public sector clients. We have a proven track record, and we have worked with many councils, hospitals and care homes in cases where someone dies and appears to have no will or known next of kin. We also have the Finders International Funeral Fund, which can be used to help subsidise the costs of public health funerals.<\/p>\n

Dave Lockwood, Finders\u2019 newly appointed public sector development manager, said: \u201cThis is a chance for colleagues in the public sector to mingle with those in the private sector and discover how both sides can flourish in partnership. We want this day to help our colleagues and support them at a time when they face increased pressures and ever-dwindling resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

David has extensive experience in the public sector, having worked in four local authorities in London and the South East, dealing with various services and ongoing legislation changes. He has also acted as a deputy to the Court of Protection and is well-versed in the complexities of dealing with providing funerals under the Public Health Act.<\/p>\n

A maximum of three delegates from each local authority can attend, and lunch will be provided, as well as refreshments throughout the day. If you\u2019d like to attend, you can register here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Delegates who would like to ask a question of the experts in the open forum should submit questions in advance. You can do so by emailing David Lockwood \u2013 David.Lockwood@findersinternational.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
