From Care to Adulthood in a Shrinking Economy
Building the capacity of corporate parents to achieve positive care outcomes

Conference

How can you deliver positive outcomes for looked-after children and young people during a time of constrained budgets? This is the current challenge for social care professionals and corporate parents.
With the added pressure of implementing new approaches and strategies on the back of the recent Southwark judgement, now is the time for the care community to come together and share best practice and more effective ways of working.
BAAF will lead a session on ‘Supporting the workforce to prepare young people for independence’. More leading experts will further cover the topics of transition, independent living and pathway planning. These discussions will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to continue delivering positive outcomes for looked-after children and young people, even with less funding.
If you’re a public sector professional, please book before the 8th of August to benefit from an early bird discount.

Disability
Breaking down the barriers to child placement
Conference
Disability is the main category of need for six percent of children entering care, as well as a significant factor contributing to care entry for many more. In common with most looked after children, disabled children enter care with a wide range of health inequalities and losses, but are often further disadvantaged not only by their particular impairment but by how society views disabled individuals and often fails to accommodate their needs.
