Strategic Litigation in Child Protection/Lundy Model of Child Participation by IDEA- Fri 9 March 2018

Time: 9:30am-5pm

Date: Fri 9 March 2018.

Venue: Law Society, Blackhall Place, Arran Quay, Dublin 7.

This training will be delivered by two leading international experts who will focus on two separate topics: strategic litigation in child protection and the Lundy Model of Child Participation.

Prof. Ann Skelton, Director of the Centre for Child Law at the University of Pretoria, will lead the training in strategic litigation. The aim is to inform participants about the concept of strategic litigation in the area of children’s rights and its ability to bring about systemic change rather than on a case-by-case basis.

Prof. Laura Lundy, Director of the Centre for Children’s Rights at Queen’s University Belfast, will provide training on her model of child participation, which has been used widely by academics and policy makers.

This training will include refreshments and lunch.

CPD Points will be available.

Co-Funded by: Rights, Equality and Citizenship (REC) Programme of the European Union.

Organisers: Dr. Conor O’Mahony, Dr. Elaine O’Callaghan & Dr. Kenneth Burns, School of Law and School of Applied Social Studies, University College Cork.
