Sir Iain – who left his post as the head of Police Scotland in August – will address the International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN) conference on Monday.
Former chief constable Sir Iain Livingstone will address a conference in Edinburgh aimed at tackling child abuse.
More than 700 delegates are expected from up to 68 countries and 20 regional and international organisations covering education, the legal profession, medicine, education and religion. “Children cannot advocate for themselves, they do not always disclose abuse, and it’s a crime done to them, with long-term consequences.
The congress will be the first to officially partner with law enforcement. Ms Tummala added that the group’s network will act as a “pipeline to best practice” and the legacy of the event will help to improve the tackling of child abuse in Scotland. “Childlight brings the best of academia’s research capability to complement law enforcement’s high-value data sets and front-line capabilities to help change this terrible situation.
