Speaker(s): Professor Stephen Scott CBE

Professor Stephen Scott CBE is professor of child health and behaviour at the Institute of Psychiatry. This seminar will draw on professor Scott's research and consider what actions can and should be taken to challenge and improve poor parenting. It will be of interest and use to all who work with children and their parents in social work, education and health services, and also for those who work primarily with adults and who may have parenting responsibilities.

Stephen Scott CBE is professor of child health and behaviour at Kings College London's Institute of Psychiatry, and director of the National Academy for Parenting Research. He is a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist at the Maudsley Hospital, where he works in a multidisciplinary team alongside social workers in the National Adoption and Fostering Clinic. Here a wide range of child care cases are assessed and offered help.
