- Child Protection Conferences – outlining the core processes, purpose and decision-making steps.
- Practice Standards – setting expectations for how conferences should be planned and delivered to ensure consistency and quality.
- Young People’s Participation – exploring how children and young people can be meaningfully involved in their own conference.
- The Role of the CP Chair – looking beyond conferences to understand the broader responsibilities of the Child Protection Chair.
