This Open Forum took place in May 2010 in The Lighthouse, Glasgow. The purpose of the event was to facilitate a better understanding of policy around early intervention in Scotland, and to discuss opportunities for the enhancement of policy around this theme.
Over forty guests participated in the half day event, which featured three keynote presentations from representatives of the relevant Scottish Government policy frameworks. SURF also enlisted Tom Wood, a frequent writer and broadcaster on social policy and the former Deputy Chief Constable of Lothian and Borders Police, to accompany the speakers on a plenary panel for a comments and discussion session.
