A CELCIS Emerging Insights Series:

Protecting Children and the Power of Voice in the Search for Justice: what we heard from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse in England and Wales

The webinar will look at what the Inquiry’s findings mean for child protection now by putting a spotlight on three themes in particular:
