The Golden Key Learning Conference
Sharing eight years of learning
As Golden Key comes to an end, we are keen to share the learning we have accumulated over the past eight years. In order to do this, we are hosting a learning conference on 28 April 2022 at the Bristol Beacon.
We have put together a day packed full of captivating presentations, panels and hands-on break-out sessions, covering much of what we have learnt.
We very much hope you will join us for this fantastic event.

1.30pm - Breakout session 1 – choice of one of three sessions
1. How do you change the system
Panel session with Lisa Murfin, Housing Team Manager, Second Step; Temba Mahari, EDI Officer, Second Step. Facilitator: Tom Dunn, Senior Service Coordinator, Golden Key
Systems change is a broad term and can be a daunting concept. At Golden Key we have used it as the driving principle behind our work. We have learnt that it is about finding ways of working collaboratively that are suited to a given context, individual, group or organisation. It involves empowering others to have a voice in how things are done, enabling reflection of multiple perspectives and sharing accountability.
In today’s session we will be hearing the perspectives from partners that Golden Key has worked with and formed relationships with over time, to help convey our learning.
2. Perspectives from the ED&I learning journey
Panel session with Hannah Mahoney, Programme Director, Golden Key; Jason Burrowes, Independent Futures; Saida Bello, Head of Diversity and Inclusion, Government Actuary's Department
In this session, you will hear from a panel of speakers discussing what’s enabled them to make change happen for improved equality, diversity, and inclusion outcomes. Exploring their individual ED&I leadership journey’s we’ll hear about how they created the conditions of possibility for change to occur, drove innovation, enabled next steps, and ultimately generated system change, including the factors that led to success at each of these stages.
3. A starter guide to Co-production
With Tom Traub and SJ Morris from Independent Futures
Golden Key’s learning team has worked with IF to gather their learning around what good coproduction looks like and IF will be sharing a bit about this learning in this session with a focus on what people can think about and do to create the conditions for effective coproduction.
