Aims of the conference 50 years ago Henry Kempe published his seminal paper “The Battered Child Syndrome”. Kempe described the stages of community recognition of the various forms of child maltreatment. He described a 6th stage when children would be protected, and would receive adequate care and have their needs met – child maltreatment would be eradicated. Can this be made a reality? This conference aims to examine and consider effective interventions with children and young people and their families that contribute to the eradication of child maltreatment, abuse and neglect. The organisers will be actively looking to promote policy and practice initiatives arising from the Conference both nationally and locally. Who is the Conference for? This conference will be relevant for policy makers and practitioners from agencies working with children and families, academics and students with an interest in child protection.
