Childrens Society Conference

A full-day conference to address key issues facing practitioners working with young refugees and asylum seekers, and to highlight good practice in providing services to this vulnerable yet resilient group of children, young people and families.

Keynote speaker – Jonathan Ellis, Director of Policy and Development, Refugee Council

Understand My Reality will be a rare and inspiring opportunity for professionals working with refugee and asylum seeking children and young people in a range of settings to come together to share learning and discuss challenges in our day to day practice. Delegates will also have the opportunity to hear direct from refugee young people, learning from their experiences and their ideas about how they can be supported to have a good childhood.

The conference is hosted by the Leading Edge Initiative, which is a national 3 year Lottery funded programme to support young refugees to access and achieve in education.
