The RCN Children in Care Nursing Conference is back for another year! This essential event brings together nursing professionals from across the UK to collaborate, share best practices, and explore strategies to improve health services for children in care and care leavers. You can expect expert-led sessions, valuable insights, and opportunities for professional growth, making this a must-attend event for nurses in this specialty.
Learning Outcomes:
Develop awareness of proposed changes in government policy: Understand how proposed changes will impact children in care by incorporating lived experiences and voices of children. Improving data-driven decision-making and services: Identify key data trends and challenges for informed safeguarding decisions. Adoption, fostering and kinship updates: Participate in dynamic discussions to gain insights from CoramBAAF on the latest developments. Raising awareness in contemporary issues: Engage in Q&A sessions to reflect on trauma, transitions, and sexual health impacts and improve care practice. Understand the Care Leaver Compact and the lived experience: Ask questions and engage with materials to recognise the impact of partnership working and lived experiences on care leavers.
