This year’s theme is around Valuing the difference and exploring the
policy parallels and challenges between Westminster and the Scottish
Government.
All eyes are on the changes to policy and programmes that the new
Department for Work and Pensions Ministers are introducing. This
year’s Convention will focus on the particular challenges and
opportunities for Scotland’s labour market, employability and
anti-poverty policies. The Convention also provides an opportunity to
discuss current issues, hear the latest ideas and analysis, debate on
the latest policies and to consider best practice in service delivery to
help people into sustainable employment in light of the changing UK
political landscape.
Chaired by Sally Magnusson, Journalist, Broadcaster and Writer

International
Conference United States and European Union, 7-8 October 2010, Hyatt
Regency Hotel, Washington DC
Inclusion
through employment: US and EU prisoner re-entry policies and practice
The prison population in the USA and EU continues to rise year on year.
There are over 2.3million prisoners in the United States and over 600
thousand in the European Union. Almost all of these people will be
returning to their communities on release. A very high proportion will
not have a job. Without work they are far more likely to re-offend.
But the scale of the problem has reached a point where more effective
solutions are needed. The National Transitional Jobs Network and the
Centre for Economic & Social Inclusion have a long established
working relationship. They have joined forces to promote this unique
event which is designed to draw together experts and practitioners in
the offender employment field from across the United States and European
Union to hear about the latest policy developments and share ideas and
good practice.
Both the US and Europe are asking:
- What
is the outlook for transitional employment programs and social
enterprises? Are they working and how have they evolved?
- In
a highly competitive jobs environment, what policy tools are most
effective at linking ex-offenders with work?
- How
are local governments and service providers coordinating employment,
training, health, housing, and transportation systems for those
returning to the community?
- Which
employers have proved to be exemplary community partners on behalf
of ex-offenders?
- What
innovations are service providers bringing to local re-entry
services markets?
The
conference will commence with visits to projects on the morning of 7
October while sessions will formally start at 12.30. There will be
welcome drinks hosted by EOEF and National Transitional Jobs Network
that evening at the US Capitol.
Sponsored by Working Links Supported by Ministry of Justice and National
Transitional Jobs Network

Responsible
Credit UK Convention 2010, 19-20 October, Thistle Marble Arch, London
Fees
range from £110 – £295
Early bird fee - expires Friday 3 September 2010
You can book by credit
card,
request

or complete
a booking form.
Two years on from the crisis: What have learned, what should we do
next?
This year’s Convention comes at a time when the regulation of our
credit markets is being radically redesigned. Priorities in this area
include Government plans to create a new Consumer Protection and Markets
Agency and the FSA’s proposals to create a more responsible lending
mortgage market. However, the Convention will also need to examine the
implications of public spending cuts on the provision of debt advice and
financial inclusion services and consider how the work of the Consumer
Financial Education Body will improve levels of financial literacy.
With the support of the Money Advice Trust, Community Development
Finance Association and Transact – the national forum for financial
inclusion, the Responsible Credit UK Convention is the place for
stakeholders to come together to discuss the future direction of policy
and share best practice in these areas.
We have thirty breakout sessions over the two days covering all of the
main policy concerns and also providing case studies of effective
service delivery with disadvantaged communities and groups. We also have
the involvement of the credit industry itself, and the Convention
provides an unrivalled opportunity for networking and the development of
new partnerships.

Fairbridge Training
Fairbridge
Training is the external training division of the national youth charity
Fairbridge. Fairbridge have 15 centres across
England
,
Scotland
and
Wales
and work with vulnerable and marginalised 13-25 year olds who have lost hope.
Fairbridge provide personal development programmes that engage young people and
positively move them forwards. Fairbridge Training was set-up five years
ago as a way of spreading the Fairbridge ethos and generating income for the
charity. During this time Fairbridge Training has grown and we have
delivered training to over 3,500 youth practitioners working across the
voluntary and statutory youth sector.
Our
training programmes are based on the tried and tested techniques used within
Fairbridge. We have specifically developed programmes that are refreshing,
solution-focused and immediately useful. Our course titles include:
·
Working
with Difficult Behaviour
·
Working
One-to-One
·
Working
with Groups
·
Trainer’s
Toolkit
·
Tackling
Knife Crime Training & Toolkit
·
Reality
Therapy
·
Working
More Effectively in Schools
We
pride ourselves on delivering relevant training that can be applied to everyday
work with young people. Each of our training days has an accompanying
toolkit that contains further information and resources that can be used in the
work place and shared with colleagues. Feedback from our training
includes:
"Informative,
useful and good fun at the same time" -
Swinton
High School
, Cover Supervisor
"Experienced
and knowledgeable trainers who supported me in reaffirming my understanding of
behaviour"
- Stepping Stones Project Worker
“Enjoyable,
exciting, engaging – best training in a long time. Practical and
enlightening” Hounslow
Youth Offending Officer
We
have a number of different training events happening all over the country and we
feel that this type of training is very applicable to the Detached Youth
workforce and would benefit their learning and development, and ultimately the
young people they work with.
Ethical issues in youth work
Holgate House, Grey College, Durham University
South Road, Durham. DH1 3LG
This conference offers an opportunity to discuss and debate some of the key ethical issues facing youth workers, the young people they work with and managers and policymakers who oversee work with young people. The youth worker’s role is ever more challenging - with the development of integrated youth support services in local authorities, information-sharing between professionals and agencies, commissioning relationships with the voluntary sector, funding cuts, the ever present public concern about young people as problems and victims, as well as the election of a new national government. The conference is occasioned by the publication of the 2nd edition of the book, Ethical Issues in Youth Work
(Routledge, June 2010). The day will involve some of the contributors to the book and other national speakers with an interest in youth work in a panel discussion, followed by afternoon workshops covering issues such as:
· when to breach confidentiality
· information sharing in inter-professional contexts
· the ethics of youth participation and active citizenship
· how to balance the roles of control, empowerment and education
· negotiating personal and professional values, interests and commitments
· dilemmas for faith-based and black and minority ethnic workers
· issues for practitioner researchers.
