Effective Children Act 1989 complaints: the essentials (NEW)

  • Wednesday 17 January 2024, 9.30am-1pm on Zoom – PLACES AVAILABLE

"The course reminded me how powerful legislation is and to be mindful to structure complaints well and frame them using a language that reflects children and young people's views, wishes and feelings."

"I have a better understanding of how to structure complaints to be clearer; I also have better ideas for possible remedies." 

"Really helpful - practical and helpful examples used. The facilitator was really helpful at answering individual queries too."

Feedback from pilot sessions participants, June 2023
