Join us for the 14th Signs of Safety International Gathering, where practitioners, and leaders from around the world come together to strengthen child protection, reunification and care experience practices. This year’s theme, “It Takes a Village,” celebrates the cultural richness, collective wisdom, and deep sense of belonging that emerge when parents, families, carers, communities and professionals work as one.
We’ll explore how naturally connected networks—rooted in shared values, culture, traditions, and relationships—create environments where children belong, feel safe, supported, and truly seen. This gathering is not just an event; it’s a global community reaffirming that every child thrives when surrounded by people who care, people who understand, and people who believe in them.
The Gathering offers a unique space where frontline practitioners and leaders come together to share the practice they are proud of, exchange insights, and deepen their understanding of Signs of Safety. It’s a place where diverse cultures, experiences, and voices are welcomed, creating a sense of belonging that strengthens our collective learning.
Together, we’ll learn and explore collaboratively how strengths-based practices can transform the lives of children and families and drive successful implementation at every level. Exploring innovative strategies and celebrating the power of participation to create meaningful change. This event is designed for you — a chance to discover new perspectives, connect with peers who share your commitment, and reflect on the work that unites us. You’ll leave inspired, grounded in community, and belonging to a global network with a shared purpose and vision.
Gathering Dinner/Dance Party
Feedback from previous Gatherings tells us that some of the best learning happens through the conversations and connections that are made around the formal programme, and so we will continue the tradition of having a party at the venue on Wednesday evening (starting 6:00 pm) with dinner and live music.
