‘To Fact Find or Not To Fact Find’ 2025
This year’s event ‘To Fact Find or Not To Fact Find’ will be held on Friday 28th February 2025 and will focus on the value of fact finding within Care Proceedings. Very often a finding of fact hearing will change the course of a case, conversely if there is a decision not to have a fact finding hearing this too can change the course of a case.
Guest speakers include Dr Margaret Crawford MB ChB DCH MRCP FRCP FRCPCH – Consultant Paediatrician, Christopher Adams – Barrister St Philips Chambers and Sarah Rist, Independent Social Worker & Dr Jen Bradley, Clinical Psychologist – Hubs & Co.
Our Last Conference ‘Is Blood Thicker Than Water?’
On Friday 10th November 2023, we held our 10th annual Care Conference on the subject of Siblings in Care Proceedings.
Titled ‘Is Blood Thicker Than Water?’ we were delighted to welcome experts in their field; Daniel Monk, Professor of Law at Birkbeck, University of London, Dr Jacqueline Lynch, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Barrister David Payne from St.Ives Chambers, Birmingham and Hannah Barrs, Jacqueline Mallet and Moira Clarke from Derby City Council’s Adoption Permanence Team. The aim of the conference was to provide a thought provoking insight into what is a sibling?; why the relationship between siblings matters; how the relationship is assessed; and how siblings are treated in care and adoption proceedings and beyond.
The sold out event attracted 100 delegates, a mixture of solicitors, guardians, barristers and those who work within the care system.
