If you want to get down to the nitty-gritty then look no further than the workshops at the Children & Young People Now Show 2009, which promise to tackle the hottest topics in the sector. The sessions comprise interactive workshops, panel debates and master classes covering five strands: health and wellbeing; play; children's centres and extended schools; leadership and collaboration; and positive activities.
Leadership is high on the agenda in the wake of the Baby P case, which raised questions about accountability and the role of children's services directors.

"Everyone in an organisation has a role to play in leading change."
