A day conference,‘Celebrating Success in Residential Child Care' will be held at the
Glasgow Marriott Hotel on Tuesday, 22 March, 2011.
The Children, Young People and Social Care Directorate of the Scottish government have informed us of this event which will provide an opportunity for the residential child care sector and social work professionals to consider progress made on implementing the NRCCI recommendations. One of the main difficulties in making residential care the first and best choice for those children who need it is that all too often a bleak picture is painted of the sector. An important way of challenging the negative perceptions of residential child care is to draw attention to the many positive experiences of young people, parents and practitioners by providing a forum to celebrate success. This event will focus on the positive role residential child care has played in young people’s lives and will celebrate what for them have been positive outcomes.
This event is aimed at residential child care practitioners, social workers, managers, students and all those with an interest in the developments within residential child care. The format of the event will provide for short facilitated discussions and networking.
Speakers include:
· Adam Ingram, Minister for Children and early Years
· Mark Smith, University of Edinburgh and author of Rethinking Residential Child Care
· Dr Donald Forrester, University of Bedfordshire, Director of the Child and Family Welfare Research unit.
· Zachari Duncalf, Research Fellow at Glasgow School of Social Work and Care leaver.
