Information about submitting a proposal
We are very keen to ensure that as many people’s voices are heard as possible. For this reason, we want to try and create a containing structure for the event which encourages wide participation by members and supports new ways of presenting and engaging in dialogue with colleagues.
We are therefore inviting you to submit a proposal about not only the topic of your presentation but also how you would like to deliver it. This might be a long or short paper presentation, panel discussion, video, poster or other visual approach, a reflective discussion group or goldfish bowl.
We want engaging ways of promoting discussion, catalysing action, and understanding the issues and dilemmas raised by this theme.
How to submit a proposal
The deadline for submission of proposals is Monday 14 January 2019
Please submit proposals to leanne@childpsychotherapy.org.uk – any proposals submitted after the deadline will not be considered.
