#Jeremytalks

Welcome to #Jeremytalks (opens new window) and our must-read weekly bulletin, HLINks (opens new window), week-ending Friday, 22 October 2021

This is where you can take a tour of relevant resources and events on later life housing and independent living with regard to homes and communities, health and social care, design and technology, dementia, planning matters and more.

For example, this week, we published a new Housing LIN guest blog jointly written by Policy Connect’s Clive Gilbert and the Open University’s Dr Jenny Matson who draw attention to the government’s recent National Disability Strategy and considers how assistive technology can help enable disabled and older people achieve genuine choice and control. Clive is also a panelist on the Housing LIN's Technology for an Ageing Population: Panel for Innovation (TAPPI) Inquiry. You can now register to attend the online TAPPI Inquiry report launch on Tuesday, 26 October 2021 at 4pm. 

And if you missed this week's HAPPI Hour 'Intergenerational living is the future – where are the opportunities?’, you can watch the recording and access the slides, here. We're also delighted to have received such excellent feedback:

  • A good mix of experienced practitioners sharing some exciting, new and innovative ideas and thinking.
  • Very interesting and promising concept for future housing development.
  • Informative and shows that thinking in this area is moving in a positive direction, across many areas of our sector

We also highlight a range of items that we think will be of interest to you, including:

And lastly, looking to next week, we are really excited about the launch of the TAPPI Inquiry report. Ahead of the launch, we have produced this animation to promote the event. Join TAPPI Inquiry chair, Professor Roy Sandbach OBE, Susan Kay from Dunhill Medical Trust, members of the TAPPI Expert Panel and those who gave evidence to learn about the 10 guiding principles and recommendations in Phase One of this influential project.
