SCiP Alliance Annual Conference 2024

13/11/2024 1/01/0001

Join the SCiP Alliance community at our Annual Conference, where professionals connect with evidence and each other to support Service children in their journey towards thriving lives. We look forward to welcoming you to The Marriott in Cardiff on 13th November 2024.

This year, we are thrilled to present our annual conference centred around the powerful theme of Inspiring Impact. A central purpose of the Alliance community is to inspire each other to make a difference in Service children’s lives through innovation and new collaborations, but we also want the impact we have together to inspire others to join our community and engage in evidence-led action.

The core of our mission is to elevate the voices of Service children, placing their experiences and perspectives at the forefront of all we do. This year’s conference will continue this tradition by providing a platform for Service children to share their journeys - the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Their experiences will guide us, holding us accountable to our principles of support that is ethical, meaningful, and truly impactful.

In recognition of the current financial challenges, we are maintaining the conference cost at the same level as last year.

Welcome refreshments, hot drinks, snacks and water throughout the day, and a buffet lunch will be provided.
