May 2011 – Conference report, presentations, and more…

Thank you to everyone who came along and took part in the What’s Working for Children Conference 2011. It was a fantastic two days with excellent presenters, great ideas, and a very positive message about what we can all do to continue to build and improve services for children, young people, and families in Ireland. We have had some really good feedback from delegates and speakers alike and hopefully there will be more events like it in the future.

In the meantime, we will be regularly updating the conference website www.whatsworkingforchildren.org. Right now you will find a copy of the conference report available for download along with all the presentations from the conference speakers, and the presentations from the seminars as well as video of the entire two-day event and photos. We also have a full delegate list available to download.

In the coming months we plan to feature information from projects and initiatives throughout Ireland, here, on the website – starting with some of the projects you heard about in the conference seminars. We hope to continue to spread the message of the value of evidence based practice and investment in early intervention and prevention initiatives.

Thank you again to everyone who came along and helped to make the conference a success. Thank you in particular to our speakers, seminar presenters, panelists, and all the supporting organisations.

You can keep in touch with updates on our Facebook page (here), or by following us on Twitter (www.twitter.com/Whats_Working), and of course on here on our website (www.whatsworkingforchildren.org).
