‘Global Solutions to Working with Vulnerable Children and Young People’

• Sharing international insights into the inclusion of socially and emotionally vulnerable children and young people.

• Celebrating their resilience in surviving trauma, loss and displacement. 

Our Aims

At this conference we aim to bring together practitioners and academics from around the world to:

· share and explore the difficulties encountered by socially and emotionally vulnerable children and young people (CYP) in the current international context.

· learn about research activities and evidenced based interventions from around the world that are informing our practice and improving or challenging the experiences of this vulnerable group.

· celebrate the successes and resilience of vulnerable CYP and those who work with them in overcoming the challenges presented by the current context.

· hear about, and learn from, the lived experience of the CYP themselves as well as those who care for them.

Through keynote presentations by experts in the field, the sharing of academic papers by researchers, and practitioner workshops, we will explore such themes as mental health, displacement, the lived experience and inclusion in relation to children and young people of all ages. 

Target Audience

The conference will be of interest to practitioners and academics working with this vulnerable group of children and young people of all ages in a wide variety of contexts such as education, health, social care and charitable organisations.
