Event Details

The aim of the LAC Practice Exchange Network is provide practitioners with up to date knowledge and ideas to help improve practice and outcomes for children in care, which can be disseminated back to individual practitioners local authority.

The LAC Practice Exchange Network events will provide the opportunity for practitioners from across each region to come together to hear about what is happening at a regional level from the Government regional offices and to hear from speakers on topics relevant to direct practice.

The events also provides opportunities to network, share best practice, discuss burning issues and find solutions to improve practice with children in care. Participants will be provided with materials from the day to enable feedback to participant’s own local authority.

Each Participant and local authority will also be provided with a yearly briefing, which summarises all the key issues, topics covered and messages for practice from across all the regional events.
