Conference update : From Maria to Munro Safeguarding Children : Procedures, Regulation or Nurturing Relationships? A Child Care History Network Conference
The Child Care History Network invites you to its summer conference on July 25th, 2013 at the Barns Conference Centre of the Planned Environment Therapy Trust at Toddington near Cheltenham. The theme of the conference From Maria to Munro Safeguarding Children : Procedures, Regulation or Nurturing Relationships? is intended to provide a springboard for some fundamental thinking about child protection. For the last forty years child protection and safeguarding have dominated social work with children and their families. The conference will look at how this thinking has developed and ask whether it is time to move on to a different way of viewing ways of meeting children's needs.
How do we best protect children? Is safeguarding still the top priority? Should we place a greater emphasis on nurture? What else should we be doing? As with all CCHN events, delegates shall not only be considering historical developments but also looking at how we can apply what we have learnt from history.
Among the speakers who will be presenting to the conference are : Sir Roger Singleton, Chair of the Independent Safeguarding Authority and Mark Smith, Senior Lecturer at the School of Social Work at the University of Edinburgh and Ray Jones, Professor of Social Work at the Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education, run jointly by Kingston University and St George's, University of London.
As well as the presentations, the day will provide opportunities for delegates to participate and share thinking on the theme.
The fees for the conference including lunch and refreshments are £55 for members and £70 for non-members.
