Safeguarding childhood together
4-5 March 2021

At next year’s two-day conference, you’ll hear about the latest in safeguarding and child protection to help you support young people at every stage of childhood from early years, right through to adolescence. Key areas of focus include child and adolescent mental health, online safety and preventing abuse in families facing additional pressures.
We’ll be bringing together delegates from a wide range of sectors - from education, voluntary, charity and health sectors to local authorities. You’ll have a chance to engage with thought leaders and innovators from various professions, including academic professionals, government officials and front-line practitioners.
Every child has the right to grow up safely. Together we can make that happen and create safer environments.
