Join us at our annual Celebrating Our Sector conference which include the Norfolk Care Awards 2026.
The Norfolk Care Awards celebrates the dedication, innovation, and outstanding achievements of individuals, teams, and care providers across the adult social care sector in Norfolk. The awards recognise excellence, inspire innovation, and highlight the incredible impact that staff, volunteers, and unpaid carers have on the lives of those they support.
The event will take place on the afternoon of the 15th of October, 2026 at the historical St Andrews Hall, Norwich.
As part of this year’s Celebrating Our Sector Conference, we’ll be joined by speakers from across adult social care, regulation, workforce development and research to share their perspectives on learning and improvement across the sector.

Human Learning Systems – A Provider Perspective
Claire will share a provider perspective on Human Learning Systems and its approach to learning and working with complexity in social care.
How learning happens in care, and how we get better at getting better.
