CfC Meeting in Scotland

The last meeting, or a chance to relaunch?

As Professor Ewan Anderson explains in his President’s Log, the Board of Caring for Children has decided that CfC should be wound up, and the meeting to be held in Glasgow at the FICE Congress could be its last. (It will be held at 5.00 p.m. on Thursday 9 September.)

This will leave FICE unrepresented in England and Wales, though FICE Scotland will of course be carrying on as before.

If any reader is interested in maintaining CfC or establishing an alternative National Section of FICE in the England and Wales, they will be welcome to raise the possibility, either through the Webmag or at the FICE Congress.

Britain is not strong on international links, and the loss of a FICE connection in England and Wales will be sad. It is useful to share ideas, see the services provided in other countries and network with practitioners in other countries. Let us hope that the demise of CfC leads to the development of a new organisation and new enthusiasm for international links.

Remember, it is still possible to book for the FICE Congress in Glasgow. The theme is Creating a Place for Children, and the programme is packed with all sorts of subjects from a lot of countries.
