Conferences and events
Conferences play an important part in
informing NCB members and the wider children’s sector about
developments in policy, good practice, research findings and
government consultations. They also provide an opportunity to
communicate the work of NCB’s many departments, networks, councils
and fora. NCB runs a programme of conferences featuring expert
speakers, who are both policy-makers and practitioners, on topical
subjects as well as supporting specialist networks.

Connecting the London Pledge to everyday living –
practice and evaluation
Theme: Residential Care
The London Pledge is a commitment from Children’s Trusts and their
partners to all children and young people in and leaving care, and
to care leavers. Developed in partnership with young people, lead
members for children’s services and partners from the community and
voluntary sector, the Pledge aims to ensure that children and young
people in care across London have equal access to a range of key
services and support wherever they live, go to school or access
employment and training opportunities.
A self evaluation tool will be launched along with practice
materials to support the Pledge, and the event will follow a World
Café format, with attendees engaging in rotating, small and
informal group discussions so as to maximise creative exchange of
ideas and information.
Delegates can expect to take away practical ideas for
implementation within their boroughs, and membership of an active
support network of people across London who will share ideas and
help keep each other accountable to the promises set out in the
Pledge.
Delegates’ contributions at the event will feed in to a final
report on the overall London Pledge project along with evaluations
of what else is needed for future development of the Pledge. The
event provides an opportunity for the invited delegates to meet and
share with others with similar responsibilities in leading on the
development of the Pledge and Children in Care Councils in their
borough.
