Conference Themes
|
|
| The conference themes are: |
|
• Bridging the ‘theory gaps’ across approaches to early intervention (for example, ‘intervening in the early years’, ‘intervening early in a pathway to an undesirable outcome’, ‘intervening at life transition points’, ‘intervening with individuals and/or families and/or communities’). |
|
• Bridging the ‘knowledge gaps’ across human services, crime prevention and education (for example, theories and approaches in different sectors, research outcomes that may be useful across sectors, developing collaborative research and learning processes). |
|
• Bridging the ‘practice gaps’ across the sectors (for example, collaborative programs and interventions that cross health, welfare, education and/or justice). |
|
• Bridging the ‘structural gaps’ across the portfolios (for example, collaborative practice; structures and processes for inter-agency or ‘whole of Government’ approaches; policy and program development). |
|
• Bridging the ‘theory to practice’ gaps (for example, developing relationships between researchers, policy makers, and practitioners; using research and evaluation to inform policy and practice; using policy and practice to inform theory and research development). |
