New horizons in safeguarding children

Promoting children's safety and wellbeing through innovation and organisational change


In partnership with Lancaster University This conference, held on 23 - 24 May 2012 in Manchester, was hosted by the NSPCC and Lancaster University, with sponsorship from the University of Manchester and Tribal.


It provided a vibrant space for innovative, future-orientated dialogue and reflection sparked by new and emerging research on safeguarding children.
