THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIOURAL DIFFICULTIES ASSOCIATION (REG. CHARITY 258730)
The SEBDA International Conference 2010
at Keble College, Oxford, UK · Tuesday 14th to Friday 17th September 2010
Transforming Troubled Lives:
the impact of research, policy and practice on children and young people with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties
There is increasing international concern about children's SEBD (or 'EBD' or 'BESD' or 'conduct disorders') in schools, at home and in their communities. These young people's troubled and troubling behaviour is often linked to mental health problems including attachment and relationship difficulties; communication needs; disaffection; challenging behaviour; violence; and sometimes youth offending.
To discuss these issues and ways ahead, SEBDA is staging a major international conference at the Sloane Robinson Conference Centre, Keble College, Oxford University, UK, in September 2010. We invite papers from practitioners, policy makers, administrators and researchers that demonstrate good practice, innovation and suggest positive outcomes for children with SEBD and their families.
The major themes of the conference will be: developing staff skills; achieving social cohesion; multi-agency/inter-disciplinary approaches; parents, carers and families; children and young people's perspectives; provision, policies and pathways; ethics in working/researching SEBD.
