Call for Abstract - Submission Deadline: March 8th 2024
Promoting Equality through Family Support
For many families, the environment in which they care for their
children is constantly evolving in an era of sustained social,
geopolitical and economic uncertainty and volatility. Social
exclusion, discrimination, poverty, migration, displacement and the
accompanying trauma strongly impact on parenting and family life.
In this conference, we consider the critical role family support can
play in contributing to the achievement of the sustainable
development goals by confronting the forces of inequality and
exclusion. The conference will reflect on current debates,
challenges and opportunities for promoting and supporting equality,
inclusion and fairness for all families and children. Through plenary
and workshop sessions we will explore themes related to how
family support practices, services and policies can promote equality
in the context of gender, sexuality, disability, poverty, migration and
participation. This international, intersectoral and interdisciplinary
conference will offer cutting-edge thinking, research evidence and
innovative practices. It will be of interest to practitioners, service
leaders, policymakers and researchers and academics.
This conference committee now welcomes proposals from
delegates for presentations in parallel sessions, poster format or
interactive workshops. Abstracts are invited from the practice,
policy, research and academic communities in relation to the
conference theme of promoting equality through family support and
specifically in the following areas.
Abstracts must be submitted by
March 8th 2024 and will only be
accepted if completed using the
template provided. Further details
on presentation types and
timelines can be found on the

seeking a variety of presentation

interactive workshops.

2024. Please note that all
