The conference theme is "Protecting Children in a Changing World" and includes the following sub-themes:

Prevention of child abuse and neglect through early and sustained involvement
Interventions and programmes for children and families experiencing adversity
Addressing children’s rights and participation
Reforms in child protection and welfare policy
Children in out of home care
Building the evidence base
Contemporary issues

Further details on the call for abstracts and the scientific and social programmes will appear at: http://www.ispcan.org/event/Dublin2013.

The official language of the conference will be English, but French and Spanish language abstracts are welcome and we plan to have French and Spanish speaking sessions at the conference – details are on the Abstract Submission pages.
