Gathering 2010 - Wednesday 1100 - Gale Burford & Bill Madsen
Presenters:
Dr. Bill Madsen, Director, Family-Centered Services Project, Cambridge Massachusetts
Professor Gale Miller, Department of Social Work, University of Vermont
To connect our local work to some of the bigger issues that always swirl around, intersect and drive child protection practice, our programme will conclude with a presentation from Bill Madsen and Gale Miller who both have extensive practice, academic and research experience in the child protection field.
Gale and Bill will provide their reflections on the presentations, sharing with us what they have learned, and what has most impressed them in what they have heard over the last two and half days. Gale and Bill will also help us think about the challenges that face us as we move forward and offer their thoughts about the connections between our work and current policy and social issues that face child protection practitioners and organisations.
The Department for Child Protection in West Australia has chosen November 12, 13 and 14, 2012 for its second Signs of Safety Gathering. All 23 districts from around the state will present as well as three international presentations. This Gathering will provide an end-to-end picture of a comprehensive system-wide Signs of Safety implementation. Participants from overseas and elsewhere in Australia are welcome though places will be limited.
