- Children, young people and families

About
A forum for thinking about children and young people's experiences that might impact on how they present emotionally and behaviourally.
We will focus on unpicking the factors that impact on children and young people, the importance of the systems in which they live their lives, and how as professionals working with children and young people, we can hear the experiences that shape the children we work with.
The aim of the day is to support professionals to develop the ways in which we work within our services to hear and respond to the experiences of children and their families in a way that helps them to reach their full potential.
