Eighth Family Research Network (FRN) Forum on "Caregiving in Singapore: Insights, Highlights and Experiences"
Date: 7 August 2012, Tuesday Time: 2.30 pm – 5.00 pm Venue: Auditorium, Level 1, Civil Service College
Synopsis:
The FRN forum is an initiative to bring together a network of academics, researchers and policy-makers through a series of closed-door sessions to engage in regular discussions on family research (see http://www.spp.nus.edu.sg/ips/FRN_Main.aspx for more information).
This forum will focus on caregiving. The presentations for the forum seek to provide participants with insights into the Enabling Masterplan and caregiving initiatives as well as perspectives garnered from related methodological and qualitative research carried out in Singapore. The presentations will be especially relevant for policymakers and practitioners from the voluntary welfare organisations in designing policies and programmes to help caregivers and their families.
