One of the most effective ways to promote the rights and best interests of children and young people is to create an environment where families are able to care for them ensuring that they are safe, healthy, enjoy learning and achieving, can make a positive contribution and experience economic and environmental well-being. In order to prevent young people becoming at risk of social exclusion a “whole child” perspective must be adopted. Increasingly it is recognised that this means that work should be undertaken with families at as early a stage as possible regardless of the age the child or young person.

This conference will identify the different forms that family support can take. There will be an opportunity to hear a variety of views from government and non-government perspectives. Family Support initiatives from across Northern Ireland will also share their practice and experience.

Include Youth conferences have a reputation for facilitating stimulating discussion and an opportunity for practitioners, managers and policy makers working with all vulnerable children, young people and their families to network and share experiences.
