Improving the Life Chances of Children in CareImproving the Life Chances of Children in Care

Capita’s 6th National Improving the Life Chances of Children in Care Conference addresses the key challenges faced by organisations and individuals in supporting young people in care and during the transition to adulthood.

By bringing together a range of expert speakers to highlight good practice and initiatives with proven records of success, this conference will provide you with practical ideas you can tailor to your own work to provide the best possible support for children and young people in care. With the Children and Young Persons Bill strengthening the legislative framework underpinning the care system, the Government’s commitment to delivering the Care Matters: Time for Change agenda is clear. However, ensuring that the outcomes for children and young people in care are delivered requires that local authorities and key stakeholders work in partnership and share best practice to prioritise the needs of young people.

This conference will address current key issues, including:

  • Progress made following the social pedagogy pilots
  • Health and wellbeing of looked after children
  • Maximising educational attainment
  • Managing the transition out of care
  • Successful corporate parenting strategies
  • Social work practice pilots
