The Best practice in support to separated families conference brought together policy makers, practitioners and academics working in the field of family separation in London on 16 October 2008.

Guest speakers included Stephen Geraghty, Commissioner for Child Maintenance, Anthony Douglas, Chief Executive of Cafcass and Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith MP together with a range of specialist seminars and a panel of experts.

The conference, hosted by the Centre for Separated Families, was intended to look at what services already existed, look at how those might be strengthened and examine areas where more were needed.

Putting Children First is now a hub around which best practice organisations can work together to bring better outcomes for children.
