Children in Scotland's Annual Conference 2025 - Join us!

by Children in Scotland -

We are delighted to be delivering our Annual Conference on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 May 2025 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Central.

It doesn’t feel that long ago that we were packing away banners, pulling together evaluations and debriefing with everyone from our last conference. The Annual Conference will once again bring together diverse voices from across the children’s sector to share best practice, explore innovative ideas and build on our collective aim of creating a country where children and young people have an equal chance to flourish. The programme of keynotes speeches, workshops and a panel discussion will unpack issues relating to UNCRC incorporation, education and learning, additional support needs, equality and diversity and mental health. In addition, there will be a specific strand that flows through the conference focussing on The Promise and the activity happening across the sector to meet its ambitions – particularly in light of 2025 being the halfway point of The Promise’s ten-year lifetime.
