A registered charity at work since 1987, the Michael Sieff Foundation is dedicated to improving policy and practice for children and young people in need. We achieve these objectives by bringing together people with wide ranging responsibilities for vulnerable youngsters, resulting in action being taken in practical ways. 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. The report of each conference is widely distributed and recommendations are vigorously followed up. Since research shows the best outcome for children depends on multi-disciplinary work, the Foundation encourage multi-agency collaboration. 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. |
