Understanding and Supporting Families over Time: Research, Policy and Practice
This conference is being organised in collaboration with ESRC Timescapes, The Social Policy Association and the Family and Parenting Institute.
In brief, the purpose of the conference is to bring together academics, policy makers and practitioners in the UK to discuss how we can understand and support families over time. Day one of the conference, Understanding Families over Time, will present evidence from Timescapes and other key studies on changing lives and times across the generations, and will explore the implications of the findings for family policy. Day two of the conference, Supporting Families over Time, will explore the different ways in which public and third sector initiatives are supporting families with complex needs, including those living in poverty.
Speakers include Fiona Williams, Paul Boyle, Graham Allen MP and Frank Field MP.
