Dr Helen Richardson Foster is a Research Fellow in the
Connect Centre For International Research on Interpersonal
Violence and Harm, University of Central Lancashire. She
researches domestic abuse and safeguarding work with
children and families, and has over 20 years’ experience
working in primary research and programme evaluation in
a range of settings.
In this webinar, Helen will present findings from a qualitative
study of child protection conferences (CPCs) that
explored the extent to which conferences are ‘child-focused’
events. She will explore how a conceptual model of a childcentred
practice can be used to understand the facilitators
and barriers to effective child protection conference practice.
The webinar will consider how child focused practice
is shaped by children and young people’s participation and
the role of practitioners throughout the conference process.
