A BLOG FROM THE FAMILY BAR

Did I mention the conference?

I possibly forgot to mention this…

The Transparency Project are once again involved in a multi-disciplinary conference about the child protection system – entitled “The Child Protection System – Where do we go from here?”. This conference, is the second held by its organisers and is intended to be a genuine conversation between professionals of different disciplines AND those whose lives the court and child protection system actually affects. It is being held on 3 June in Birmingham and will be ACE*. The conference will be opened by DJ Gailey, who is a “Diversity and Community Relations Judge” (yes, apparently that’s a thing. Possibly it is just a list of the ones the MoJ thinks its safe to let loose, or possibly it is a bit more serious and skills based than that. I’m pretty confident it’s the latter – see here) and will involve all sorts of other interesting and challenging speakers and participants (Maggie Siviter, Clare Fenton-Glynn, Dr Lauren Devine, Brid Featherstone, Louise Tickle…and bringing up the rear, petite moi).

Do take a look at the information, circulate it to colleagues and friends, tweet it like crazy and share it on all your weird facebook yahoo  google groups – and book a place!

    You mean petite moi (in fact la petite moi) unless your name and your photo are very misleading indeed.

    I can be pedantic in more than one language, Lucy!

    PS: You did not split any infinitives on the radio. Well done!

      I do mean petite, yes. I see that you are a multi-lingual pedant extraordinaire.
      Would it really irritate you if I said : potato’s, tomato’s repeatedly??
