It is some sort of conference season…

I will not be using an auto cue next week when I speak at the Coercive Control conference in Bury St Edmunds next week. I will be using my decrepit macbook with the sticky e-key, and a power point presentation with a natty colour scheme. I will be talking about (yes, you guessed it) Coercive Control and the Family Court, and although it seems almost inconceivable given the stellar line up of myself and other people even more impressive* – I am reliably informed that there are still places for anyone with some spare time next Tuesday.

I am also speaking at the Kent Child Care Conference on 12 October, which also has a very impressive line up as well (inexplicably) moi. I am due to say something fabulous about transparency and I am holding off finalising** my presentation in the forlorn hope that a View from the President’s long-shuttered window is about to plop into our inboxes with transparency “Next Step” news.

Those of you who are FLBA members (and those of you who are not I believe) may be interested in the FLBA Conference, which is being held in Cardiff on 21 November. I’m NOT speaking at that one, but the line up is nonetheless pretty great*. Details here.

Thank you conference.

*yes it’s sarcastic. It’s a very impressive line up.
