Talk Description
Conor Pall invites us to “sit in the knot” - the messy, both/and truths of childhood family violence. Through storytelling, he highlights how risk is misread when children and young people's voices are absent, and offers shifts in practice to make disclosures safe, restore choice and agency, and centre children and young people as victim-survivors in their own right. You’ll leave with practical prompts and system nudges to use the next time a child’s experience of distress reaches you. 

Because if we don't change our practice to centre children and young people, who will?

(Content note: family violence.)
