Voice of the child: Are we really listening?

As family justice continues to evolve, children's voices are increasingly shaping decisions that affect their lives. But how far have we come, and what still needs to change?

Join us for an engaging panel discussion on exploring how children's experiences, views and voices can shape decision-making, from the Child Focused Court model through to wider child-inclusive practice,  and the opportunities ahead for professionals working with families.

Chaired by Ellen Wilkinson, our panel will bring together voices from across the family justice system, including:

• Jane Ingleby, Partner, Resolution Accredited Specialist Family Lawyer and Arbitrator

• HHJ  Judge Trotter-Jackson
  

• Dr Paul Walton, Director of Kaleidoscope Psychology and Psychotherapy, Clinical Psychologist and Systemic Family Psychotherapist

• Kam Kaur, Senior Social Worker / Parenting Apart Consultant, The Parenting Apart Programme

This interactive session will include audience Q&A and networking over lunch.

Places are limited, please register by 1 October to let us know if you can attend.
