As part of a programme to foster better use of technology in the social services, IRISS, SSSC and the Learning Networks have organised a conference and exhibition on Friday 25 February 2011. The conference offered a range of workshops aimed at demystifying the use and range of learning technologies. It also offered assistance in developing cost efficient and accessible solutions for the social services workforce. Alison Petch, Director of IRISS, has spent most of her career involved with research and policy, latterly in health and social care. She welcomed and chaired the day.
