Children in Scotland's Networking Event 2026

This free event, supported by Clearcare, is one of the flagship networking events in the children’s sector. It’s an afternoon for connecting with others, sharing opportunities, and chatting about the issues that are important to you.

The event will begin with a welcome from Jude Turbyne, Chief Executive of Children in Scotland. This will be followed by a mix of mingling time and facilitated sessions to share learning and ideas in two key areas that affect the children’s sector. More information about these facilitated sessions will be available soon.

Light refreshments will be provided to help fuel the conversations and good times.

How many people can attend the event

Traditionally, we have about 100 people attend the event. Feedback from previous participants is very positive, giving you the opportunity to mix and speak with people with similar goals and aspirations, that you may not encounter in your day-to-day professional activities.

It’s fine to join us for a little or a lot of the planned afternoon. It’s going to be place of connection and conversation, we hope to see you there!
