Rescuing a generation’s potential
 
Monday 10 July 2006, 9am – 4.30pm
Hosted by Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith MP and The Centre for Social Justice
Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre
Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, London, SW1P 3EE
 
THIS CONFERENCE IS NOW FULLY BOOKED AND REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. WITH THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST.
 
Symposium registration is free. Lunch and refreshments provided, subject to availability.

Whether reports of happy-slapping, knife crime, the invention of ASBOs, or even the crisis over obesity, the nation’s young people don’t get a good press. Media hype, or a dangerous new reality?

At the Centre for Social Justice we believe media concerns and government policy are only addressing symptoms. We need to mend the causes.

Join the Centre for Social Justice and our panel of experts as we consider the nature and extent of the current crisis and the solutions required to rescue the potential of the next generation.
