Childhood and the Media: images, rights and responsibilities
Friday 20th April 2012 - Michael Tippett Centre, Bath Spa University.

This conference is a great opportunity for all those working with children and young people. The image of young people and how they are portrayed has direct impact on helping them and protecting them. Too often their portrayal is full of negativity. This needs to be scrutinised and their achievements celebrated much more widely.

The conference will explore various aspects surrounding children's representation and rights as well as the media's responsibilities and regulations. The speakers and presenters that have been assembled represent a depth of experience and range of disciplines and should make this a memorable day.

Sue Steel, co-ordinator of the Anti-Bullying Alliance, will be taking part in a panel discussion on protecting young people in the wider media.
