Valuing those with lived experience, not part of the problem but part of our solution (Kempe International Conference)
Join us at the Kempe Centre International Virtual Conference – A Call to Action to change child welfare
Monday 7th October 2024 at 12pm BST
Family Rights Group has been working in partnership with families with lived experience for over a decade. Our session will illustrate how by collaborating with our experts by experience from the conception of new initiatives through to the planning, launching and operation of the same, significant changes can be achieved. Working in partnership with our panel members, other charities, government departments, the judiciary and educational bodies has enabled us to focus on how we can realistically make well needed improvements that will benefit families involved with the child welfare system. We will use examples of how our work has benefited from the involvement of our panel members and highlight some of the challenges we have encountered but continue to seek to resolve. We acknowledge some families may previously have been thought of as part of the problem, but our families are proving themselves to be an essential part of creating the solutions.
Our speakers:
- Angela Frazer-Wicks, Chair of Family Rights Group and founding parents’ panel member
- Azariah Hope, Family Rights Group panel member
- Beverley Campbell, Family Participation Officer
- Sharon McPherson, Co-Director of Families in Harmony and kinship carer
