Over 130 participants attended the day at the International Riviera Centre in Torquay. 4 workshops were held both in the mornings and afternoons to allow everyone to attend 2 workshops of their choice. The workshop themes included:

	Substance Misuse - celebrating successes.
	Young People & Crime - anti-social behaviour, youth offending, interventions.
	Ward Partnerships & Community Engagement - best practice.

Initial feedback from participants has been excellent, such as "it was great to have an introduction to innovative projects from outside areas dealing with our priorities in Torbay". Further feedback is being collated and will be available on this website shortly.
