8Th Congress Programme and Abstract Book British Association For British Association for the Study and Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect 8th Congress “Keeping Children Safe in an Uncertain World: Learning from Evidence and Practice” Programme and Abstract Book 15th – 18th April 2012 Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK BASPCAN was established to help to protect children from significant harm or risk of such harm, by providing support and information to professionals whose work involves them in the prevention, detection and treatment of child abuse and neglect. It is a unique multi-disciplinary organisation which brings together personnel from all agencies who work in the field of child protection. We have an interested, enthusiastic and knowledgeable membership which includes social workers, medical and nursing personnel, lawyers, police officers, psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, teachers, researchers, academics and policy-makers. BASPCAN achieves this by: • Organising Study days, Seminars and Conferences throughout the UK • Holding a tri-ennial National Congress • Supporting the BASPCAN Regional Branch Network • Encouraging multi-disciplinary collaboration • Publishing a regular newsletter, ‘BASPCAN News’ • Providing responses to Government, Inquiries, Consultations, the media and others on issues relating to child maltreatment • Publishing, with Wiley Blackwell, the official journal of the Association, ‘Child Abuse Review’ • A Research Award Programme for BASPCAN members undertaking or completing small scale research projects on child protection BASPCAN works with a wide range of people to ensure our services are delivered in a professional and cost-effective way: • Our members, individually and through our Branch network • Our staff and trustees: the commitment of the board of trustees and our staff enables us to expand and develop the organisation and deliver high quality services • Government officials in the four nations • Academics and researchers • Organisations working in the private, statutory and voluntary sector • Media • International partners BASPCAN regularly updates its website with all current activities www.baspcan.org.uk BASPCAN is a charitable organisation (Registered Charity No. 279119) which derives its income solely from membership subscriptions and conference activities. @BASPCAN Welcome to Congress 2012 Dear Delegate, Welcome to Belfast and to BASPCAN’s 2012 triennial Congress. Nearly 700 delegates from 28 countries will be attending along with you over the next four days. We hope that you will find your time with us interesting, challenging and enjoyable and that you embrace the opportunities offered to increase your knowledge and skills, to reflect on your practice and to get support from other child protection colleagues through sharing experiences and networking. BASPCAN has held a triennial Congress since 1991, and this, our 8th, again provides an opportunity for delegates from across the UK, Ireland and internationally, to share the latest findings from research and to debate how families may be supported and children kept safe. We hope that you will take this opportunity to join in the debates and discussion with fellow delegates. Determined efforts have been made to ensure Congress is as accessible and affordable as possible and considers the needs of all children. The result is that delegates who are meeting here in Belfast reflect the professional diversity and broad range of organisations that are all committed to children’s welfare. The attendance of a large number of delegates from outside the UK and Ireland also provides an international flavour to Congress which we are sure will bring fresh perspectives to our discussions. Colleagues from economically emerging countries are particularly welcomed and we are grateful to members of the Association’s regional branches and also a number of individuals who have raised sufficient funds to help support their attendance. We know that the current global economic situation places greater strain on individual families, and the resources available to organisations in responding. More, now than ever, we need to consider how children’s needs can be met both effectively and efficiently. Congress provides an important opportunity for professionals to consider and challenge current thinking and perspectives. As well as ten keynote presentations there will be 14 symposia, 48 workshops and 169 free paper presentations plus 28 interactive poster presentations to choose from. On behalf of the National Executive Committee of BASPCAN I would like to thank each of the presenters for giving their time to share their important work. The following pages outline the key events being held throughout Congress and provide details of speakers, the times and location of sessions as well as listings for social events. We hope that you find your time here at Congress fulfilling and that you will, in the spirit of Congress, both contribute to and benefit from the wealth of events available.

  • The Northern Ireland Women's Coalition: Origin, Influence And
    Hiroshima Journal of Peace Vol.1 March, 2018 The Northern Ireland Women’s Coalition: Origin, Influence and Impact Kate Fearon Abstract: The Northern Ireland Women’s Coalition (NIWC) was a political party established in 1996 and dissolved in 2006, created to contest elections to the political peace negotiations that would result in the Belfast Agreement. Its later policies and actions, underscored by its three core principles of equality, inclusion and human rights were formulated and implemented in support of the Belfast Agreement. Drawing on their experience of activism in civil society and exclusion from mainstream political life, the NIWC seized the opportunity to successfully raise the issue of women in the formal political arena in order to shape the peace process. But what of its contribution to politics in Northern Ireland - and beyond - after the GFA, and what of its legacy after its dissolution? This article sketches the context of negotiations on ‘the constitutional question’ in which the NIWC emerged, says something of its experience in the political negotiations, points to its achievements in the inaugural Northern Ireland Assembly, and the implementation of the Belfast Agreement within and outwith those formal structures, identifying three main legacy areas of the NIWC that still shape the political landscape in Northern Ireland today, as well as one legacy area that informs and resonates with peace-building globally to this day. Keyword: Women, Peacebuilding, Northern Ireland 1 Background Northern Ireland has been contested political terrain since its establishment in 1921, but in the late 1960s protest movements around civil and human rights put pressure on those that supported the status quo - chiefly the British government, and the unionist political parties (who had held the majority government in Northern Ireland since the outset), to share power equitably.

  • Devolution Monitoring Programme 2006-08
    DEVOLUTION MONITORING PROGRAMME 2006-08 Northern Ireland Devolution Monitoring Report January 2007 Professor Rick Wilford & Robin Wilson Queen’s University Belfast (eds.) ISSN 1751-3871 The Devolution Monitoring Programme From 1999 to 2005 the Constitution Unit at University College London managed a major research project monitoring devolution across the UK through a network of research teams. 103 reports were produced during this project, which was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (grant number L 219 252 016) and the Leverhulme Nations and Regions Programme. Now, with further funding from the Economic and social research council and support from several government departments, the monitoring programme is continuing for a further three years from 2006 until the end of 2008. Three times per year, the research network produces detailed reports covering developments in devolution in five areas: Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Englsh Regions, and Devolution and the Centre. The overall monitoring project is managed by Professor Robert Hazell and Akash Paun at the Constitution Unit, UCL and the team leaders are as follows: Scotland: Peter Jones Honorary Senior Research Fellow, The Constitution Unit, UCL Former political correspondent for The Economist Wales: Dr Richard Wyn Jones & Dr Roger Scully Institute of Welsh Politics, University of Wales, Aberystwyth Northern Ireland: Professor Rick Wilford & Robin Wilson Queen’s University, Belfast English Regions: Martin Burch & James Rees, IPEG, University of Manchester Alan Harding, SURF, University of Salford The Centre: Professor Robert Hazell, The Constitution Unit, UCL Akash Paun, The Constitution Unit, UCL The Constitution Unit and the rest of the research network is grateful to all the funders of the devolution monitoring programme.

  • Leverhulme-Funded Monitoring Programme
    Leverhulme-funded monitoring programme Northern Ireland report 2 February 2000 Contents Summary Robin Wilson 3 Getting going Rick Wilford 4 The media Liz Fawcett 17 Public attitudes and identity (Nil return) Finance Paul Gorecki 19 Political parties and elections (Nil return) Intergovernmental relations Graham Walker/ 21 Robin Wilson Relations with the EU Elizabeth Meehan 26 Public policies Robin Wilson 30 Into suspension Robin Wilson 32 2 Summary The last monitoring report from Northern Ireland was unique in the tripartite study because only in Northern Ireland had powers not been transferred to the new devolved institutions. This, second, report is also unique in that, whatever crises the Scottish and Welsh executives have experienced, the Northern Ireland Executive Committee has, within the space of a little over two months, not only come but also, for the moment at least, gone. If ever the point needed proving that the region is, constitutionally and politically, sui generis, this latest episode on the roller coaster blandly described as the Northern Ireland ‘peace process’ surely underscored it. This report is therefore, in its tenor, once more a victim of the hypertrophy of politics in Northern Ireland. Relatively little emphasis is given to the ‘normal’ concerns addressed elsewhere, compared with the iterative reworking of the already well-worn themes in the political discourse—of decommissioning and devolution. As a result, what would come under the headings of the devolved government and the assembly/parliament in the other reports here focuses more on the establishment of the institutions than on their substantive work. And there is inevitably a long exegesis of the process leading to their demise.
