Family Law Conference: Children and Families 2025

6 hours verifiable CPD

Join us across two mornings for the second in our series of family law conferences for 2025. We will focus on recent legislative, policy and practice developments in children and family law.

Day one will discuss legal and case law updates, as well as the wellbeing  of family lawyers and clients; whilst Day 2 will deep dive into upholding the interests of the child and trauma informed practice. Our expert speakers will bring you up to speed in key areas: from s11 Orders to child relocation, risk management, trauma-informed practice, gender identity in modern families, the impact of parental alienation on the views of the child, and much more.

With ample opportunities to connect with practitioners and experts in the field, you will be able to participate in discussions, ask question and share practice tips and knowledge.
