Edinburgh Congress 2023
September 24-27, 2023
Along with our partners from Childlight Global Child Safety Institute and our patrons, Police Scotland, we hosted almost 800 people from 73 countries at the Edinburgh Congress. Our 4 day event had inspiring keynoters, 10 parallel sessions, 100 amazing posters, 2 master classes per day, a welcome reception to network, a cultural experience with a Scottish Ceilidh dance, a free preconference day with 3 working groups on child maltreatment data collection, child death review, and parenting. We launched our new Journal, Child Protection and Practice, walked in solidarity through the community to the Parliament to raise awareness about child abuse, had fun interactive selfie and question walls, and much more!
