The Michael Sieff Foundation is a registered charity which has been at work since 1987. The Foundation is dedicated to improving policy and practice for the well-being of children and young people.

The Foundation achieves these objectives by bringing together people with wide ranging responsibilities for vulnerable children and young people, resulting in action being taken in practical ways. Since research shows the best outcomes for children depends on multi-disciplinary work, the Foundation encourages multi-agency collaboration.

The Foundation's conferences involve key speakers and delegates from central and local government, the professions, business and academia, the care services and voluntary organisations, who discuss difficult issues fearlessly and openly. A report of each conference is placed on the website, widely distributed and recommendations are vigorously followed up with a Parliamentary Briefing.

Since 1987, the Foundation has made a significant contribution to policy and practice. Ideas and practices from Foundation seminars and conferences have been adopted in the sphere of child protection, the social re-integration of young offenders, combating cross border paedophile activity, improving the conditions for children giving evidence in court, work with early years children and the welfare of children in primary schools.

The Foundation's achievements are often the successful adoption by others of new initiatives-arising from our conferences, and the contacts and networks made-to improve the lives of children in need.

The Foundation does not make grants of funds to other charities and trusts.
