Events

Our events play a significant role in supporting our mission to improve the lives and safety of children and vulnerable adults. They do this by providing invaluable research, representation, CPD and training opportunities to those working in the field. At these events, we bring together leading academics, policymakers and practitioners to facilitate discussions, knowledge-sharing, and learning.

Since the beginning of the pandemic we recognised the need to change the way we deliver events, that’s why we brought all of our events online with the view of reintroducing in-person events in summer 2022.
