Following the success of last year’s Critical Conversations in Child Protection, 📣 we’re pleased to announce our 2023 series of webinars which commence this autumn.

Hear from experts in their field, covering topics such as:
• Legitimacy and power in statutory work with children and families
• The law and practice of Section 20 of the Children Act 1989
• Professional responses to young migrants, focusing on gender
• Trauma informed approaches in police responses to child sexual exploitation
• Intersectionality and critical race theory, and what it offers child protection professionals

Each webinar will feature one or two speakers, followed by a Q&A session where you can ask questions and share your insights.

The webinars will take place on Tuesdays at 10am, from 10 October to 14 November 2023. They are free and open to anyone who works in or is interested in child protection.
