SUMMARY:Early Attachment and the Importance of Language
DESCRIPTION:A Children in Wales event \nResearch shows that the way infants and young children acquire languages is a complex sophisticated process that begins way before they can use verbal skills. The first year in the child’s life is highly influential in terms of cognitive development\, social development and mental well-being. The quality of early childhood experiences is dependent on the relationship between them and the parents/carers and the environment in which they are raised. It is important that services that support young children and their families are alert to linguistic considerations and able to respond to the wishes and language use of the family.This event will look at research findings about early childhood and language. There will be an opportunity to consider how to integrate this knowledge with everyday work tasks\, whatever your own language skills may be. This is a bilingual event and there will be an opportunity to see how one service has managed to combine baby massage courses with best practice in terms of Welsh language use. The aim of the event is to raise awareness of the need to be mindful of language considerations when offering a care service to babies and their parents/carers. The event will also offer information about the latest research findings on early language acquisition\, and discuss the implications of this for health workers and for services such as Flying Start and Families First\, there will also be an opportunity to discuss current practice and share experiences and knowledge.   \nThis event will be of particular benefit to all professionals working with infants and their families and those supporting parents\, including: \n – Health Visitors – Midwives  – Social Workers – Mental health professionals – Flying Start workers – Early Years workers – Those supporting parents \nAnyone with a policy lead or interest in early years or family support

SUMMARY:WCVA Wales Charity Law Conference 2013
DESCRIPTION:Which way now? Guiding you through a maze of regulatory challenges \nIt’s all too easy for voluntary organisations to get lost in a maze of legal requirements\, and no map\, compass or even sat-nav will help. \nBut the Wales Charity Law Conference 2013 can help your organisation avoid getting lost among its legal obligations. \nThe speakers\, such as Dorothy Dalton of Governance magazine and Giselle Davies of Geldards\, will be there to guide you through the legislative jungle. Dorothy will speak on avoiding common governance pitfalls and making boards more effective\, while Giselle will pose the question – can you really be both a charity and a social enterprise? \n    \nThere will be plenty of invaluable workshops too\, including: \n – WCVA Criminal Records Unit on the new Disclosure and Barring Service – Geldards on the most recent and forthcoming changes to employment law – The Charity Commission on risk and regulation – Brewin Dolphin on managing investment risk in a low interest rate environment \nYou can read the full programme and book your place here\, and make sure your organisation keeps travelling in the right direction. \n    \nEarly bird rate – book before Monday 22 April to save £20 off the marked price! \n   \nAttending will qualify for up to four hours/four points CPD as an accredited course for Law Society requirement. \nFinancial support from Geldards has enabled WCVA to offer a small number of subsidised places for groups who may otherwise be unable to attend.

SUMMARY:Exploring New Ways of Financing Public Services
DESCRIPTION:Social Impact Bonds\, Payment by Results\, Social Investment\, Invest to Save – all increasingly visible terms in the delivery of public services\, but what are they and what do they mean for organisations delivering services in Wales? \nThe coalition government has launched a number of contracts which have included new and different financial models but Wales has not seen many come across the border at all – but this could change in future. \nThis one-day Cymorth Cymru event will explore the direction of travel at a UK government level\, analyse why the third sector has struggled to engage with existing schemes such as the Work Programme\, look at the context of payment by results in housing and support in England\, explore how best third sector organisations can engage in social investment and provide examples of where models are being piloted currently across the UK. \nFind out more and book your place via the Cymorth Cymru website.

SUMMARY:'What's the Beef?' A Horsemeat Round Table Discussion
DESCRIPTION:This event is organised by Cardiff University’s School of Planning and Geography \nOver three months have elapsed since the practice of replacing processed beef with horsemeat was uncovered. Shortly after\, it became evident the problem was not confined to the UK and Ireland\, as most countries in Europe became involved.The practice of replacing processed beef with horsemeat and failing to inform consumers is unacceptable and reports indicate local farmers and butchers are experiencing an upturn in sales due to consumers leaving the supermarkets and turning to them to ensure the reliability of meat sources. \nA panel of experts have been selected. Chair: Professor Terry Marsden\, Director\, Sustainable Places Research Institute. \nConfirm your place by registering at www.cardiff.ac.uk/cplan/events
