Childhood Neglect is one of the priorities for the London Safeguarding Children Partnership (LSCP), therefore they have chosen to focus their next FREE on-line conference on this topic.
The conference is a whole day conference, taking place online over two half days.
You will hear from an exiting line-up of speakers (see agenda below).
Delegates do not have to attend both half dates.
You can choose to register for one or both sessions.
Free tickets are available to claim now. If you do book a place and are no longer able to attend, please ensure you cancel your ticket to free up places for other delegates on the waiting list.
