The right decision at the
right time – Making good decisions for children in care
Conference
Making decisions about children in care – where
practitioners have to hold in mind a multitude of
considerations, tasks and perspectives – can be difficult
and challenging. And this work often takes place in an
environment where the risks of making the wrong
decisions can be very significant for the child and their
family.
This conference provides an important opportunity for
participants to learn about these issues from a range of
perspectives including the views of children in care, local
authorities and research on good decision–making and to
discuss the wider implications and relevance to current
practice dilemmas.
