#ADCS24 over and out - a really great and insightful conference with more coverage coming your way in the coming weeks. Thanks @adcs

[Children & Young People Now @cypnow]

And that's a wrap! See CYP online, in print and via our podcast for a full rundown #ADCS24

[Fiona Simpson @fionajsimpson]

I'm back for Day 2 with really interesting discussions on contextual safeguarding #ADCS24

[Children & Young People Now @cypnow]

Day 2 of @ADCStweets conference and the first session is on keeping children and young people safe in their communities. #ADCS24

[Children & Young People Now @cypnow]

@RebekahPierre92 .@RebekahPierre92 gets a laugh when asked what her message to new gov would be. 'Please practice what you preach.. the last gov saw 10 ministers in 10 years, yet they kept preaching about social work workforce stability' #ADCS24

[Fiona Simpson @fionajsimpson]

@LGAcomms Question posed over whether Ofsted would consider a different registration process for LAs to open children's homes from that used by 'hedge fund managers'. Ofsted's Yvette Stanley says 'the short answer is yes' but policy and legislation must align.

I'm @ADCStweets conference 2024 - we've heard from President Andy Smith, new Ed Sec @bphillipsonMP and seen a very moving presentation from care-experienced young people from Derby 🥺. More throughout the next few days.

[Fiona Simpson @fionajsimpson]

@LGAcomms Staffordshire's Bernie Brown says children in need of Tier 3 and 4 beds in specialist settings are being failed by ICB system. Tolley says her views are shared by the room.

[🌈Updates from ADCS @ADCStweets]

AS: Earlier this year, #ADCS24 published a paper called Childhood Matters, it is an urgent call to arms to put children and families at the heart of all national policy decisions... I shared these statistics back in April and I’m doing so again as quite frankly, they are shameful
