Policymakers, practitioners and researchers from a range of disciplines attended our conference on 6 March in Glasgow, exploring cutting-edge approaches to protecting children from violence and physical abuse in high-risk families.
We heard expert speakers including Professor Charley Zeanah and Dr Julie Larrieu (Tulane University) speak about Child protection in the 21st century, child-parent psychotherapy and the New Orleans Intervention Model.
Philip Raines (Scottish Government) and international experts such as Dr T Berry Brazelton MD and Dr J Sparrow MD (Brazelton Touchpoints Centre) also gave excellent presentations that will inform and influence professionals’ work in the future.
The conference highlighted the work that is currently being carried out in Scotland and how we move forward into the future.
Our delegates commented:
“Good practice emphasised throughout day. The information was extremely valuable and I felt honoured to hear from such renowned speakers.”
“I work in an early intervention service and therefore some of the messages from today are very relevant and will enhance work practice for the future.”
“Emphasises impact of quality working relationship between worker and parents. Keeping the child in mind!”
