Speakers will include:

- Sally Jenkins of Newport Council who will discuss the development of their recent programme of help and support for vulnerable mothers
- Dr Freda Gardner will discuss the importance of early therapeutic intervention
- Surviving Safeguarding, a parent and campaigner, will discuss some issues of concern she has about the types of intervention proposed for mothers
Presentations will finish approx 5.10pm and discussion will then open to the floor.
We are keen to get a conversation going about what works well and what could work better to help these mothers, with a particular view to developing programmes of intervention in the Bristol area.
