At 14:30 the market place will re-open for you to ask you specific safeguarding questions as well as attend drop in talks including:

You are also welcome to use this time to arrange your own meetings with colleagues from across the sector as we will have a dedicated room for you to grab a coffee together.
This is intended to be a strategic conference, not a training event, aimed at safeguarding leads and other strategic managers.
You will be sent a follow up email to request your workshop choices and any access or dietary requirements.
