Delighted to say that this paper on my PhD research about child protection conferences is now published

How Child-Focused are #ChildProtection Conferences? @HRFoster & colleagues present findings from a qualitative study of CPCs in 2 areas in England which explored the extent to which conferences are ‘child-focused’ events. #OpenAccess #Safeguarding @AoCPPtweet
