BASPCAN Congress 2015: New directions in child protection and wellbeing;making a real difference to children's lives

Description

BASPCAN - The Association of England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales for Child Protection. The 9th BASPCAN Congress will share the ground-breaking work of researchers, practitioners, policy makers and students from across the world. Congress will examine all the major forms of child maltreatment – physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional and psychological abuse and neglect – but also the specific manifestations of these types of abuse that have ‘emerged’ in recent years. A central aim of Congress is to highlight the latest developments in research, practice and policy, and to identify how these can be utilised not only to protect children but also to enhance their general well-being. Lying at the heart of all of the presentations will be the child and how the whole array of ‘professional’ efforts can bring about real and positive change and improvement in their lives and that of their families. These professions include, amongst others, colleagues in education, health, the law, social care and the voluntary sector.
