For
the last fifteen years, the York Group has met to consider aspects
of residential services for children. It is not a large group, but
it includes representatives of all types of residential care and education
for children and young people. Attendance is usually by invitation.
Last
year, the York Group looked at the significance of the size of groups
of children and young people in residential settings. (See the Webmag,
December 2002.) This year the subject for consideration is the length
of time which children and young people spend living away from home
in groups. Speakers representative of boarding schools, special schools,
psychiatric units, sixth form colleges and secure accommodation will
present papers and the afternoon will be spent in discussion groups
identifying generic concepts and examining the potential for the transfer
of good practice.
There
are still some places available. If you would like details please
