The UNCRC (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024; Children (Care and Justice) Act 2024; Children (Scotland) Act 2020 and The Promise all put children’s rights front and centre in our work.
This Conference will examine the implications of the legislation on practice and policy. Importantly, it will ready us for the challenge set down of keeping the experiences, views and best interests of children at the heart of what we do. We are excited to announce that this year’s conference will be chaired by Lynda Brabender, KC and speakers include:
- Sheriff Principal Anwar, Sheriff Principal, Glasgow and Strathkelvin
- Fraser McKinlay, Chief Executive Officer, The Promise
- Alistair Hogg, Head of Practice and Policy, SCRA
- Dr Helen Whincup, Senior Lecturer, University of Stirling
- Marie Clark, KC, Arnot Manderson Advocates
- Jamie Speirs, Senior Solicitor, Scottish Child Law Centre
Our speakers will share with us their expertise and insight so that we are ready and able to meet our responsibilities and continue to deliver on The Promise.
PLEASE NOTE
This conference is verifiable as Continuing Professional Development for solicitors in that it is not part of their daily work, provides interaction and the opportunity for feedback, has clear aims and its outcomes are relevant to a solicitor’s professional development.
