Seminar
Monday 18th
June. 9.45 a.m. to 4.00 p.m.
Armada House, Bristol,
BS1 4BQ
The
helping relationship is fundamental to all work with disabled
children and their families. When there is no helping relationship,
outcomes will be reduced or negated.
This
2007 Bristol Seminar follows very successful Helping Relationship
Conferences in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 2005 and London in 2006.
Our
keynote speaker is Professor
Hilton Davis, Director, Centre for Parent & Child
Support, South London & Maudsley NHS Trust and author of Working
in Partnership with Parents: The Parent Adviser Model. Professor
Davis has given us a language and a theoretical structure for
discussing and establishing genuine partnerships with parents.
His work is also essential in establishing partnerships between
practitioners who are being asked to collaborate closely with
each other in joined-up intervention systems.
