Delegates and speakers were inspired by the energy at the event and the wide range of voices and sectors coming together to talk about childhood adversity and importance of hope.  The conference was open to professionals from across health, police, education, social care and housing, as well as representatives of community and voluntary organisations. Speakers covered action and best practice from around Gloucestershire, the UK and internationally, with Q&A sessions picking up on issues faced in adult and children’s social care, as well as solutions from across the community.
