The Black Care Experience Conference 2026

Theme: ‘We’re All In This Together! What Part Do I Play?’

Venue: NTCG, 20 Upper Chorlton Rd, Old Trafford, Manchester, M16 7RN

Time: 10am - 4pm

In 2022, we centred our first Conference around a United Call to Action to Improve the Care, Outcomes and Life Chances of Black Children and Young People in Children’s Social Care. From here we saw the need for the workforces to know how to raise and care for Black Children and Young People in their Care, which led to Conference 2023 The Culturally Competent Workforce.

With research stating that Black Children and Young People in Care have the poorest outcomes and life chances in comparison to any other ethnic group in the Care System, in 2024 we explored the solutions of how to make a difference, with our Conference theme Changing The Narrative Together, Is Love Really Enough?!, which then brought us to our 2025 Conference, themed Now Do You See Us?! – now do you see the barriers we have to overcome in order to achieve.

Putting the pieces of each Conference together, in 2026 we’ll embark on a journey to empower our Conference Delegates to see how as a diverse community, coming together like pieces of a puzzle and playing our part in our respective roles, we can help to improve the Care, Outcomes and Life Chances of Black Children and Young People in Care.
