Event details
Local authorities, health services and the courts are focussed on making plans and decisions for a group of children who have experienced early and subsequent maltreatment. These children are among the most vulnerable in society. Planning and decision making for these children is urgent, complex and has to address fundamental questions in understanding what has happened, what will happen and how to provide interventions that improve their safety, welfare and outcomes.
