RSA Event: Families and Place

Home is where we start from. Join our expert panel for this lively debate.


Housing and neighbourhood have been on the margins of the policy debates on children and family services and yet are very influential in people’s day-to-day lives. Families and the relationships between family members are profoundly affected by where they live. This debate will explore how society can reverse the current absolute correlation between how well-off a family is and the quality of the place they live in, and consider how we might all live in places where we believe we can do the best for our children.

Speakers to include:
Sarah Gaventa, Director, CABE Space; Gerard Lemos, Partner, Lemos & Crane (Social Researchers); Mary MacLeod, Chief Executive, Family and Parenting Institute; John Swinney, Chief Executive, Pinnacle and Lynsey Hanley, writer, commentator and author of Estates: an intimate history

Chaired by Polly Toynbee, columnist, The Guardian
