2017 TRB Annual Conference
 
 
The year’s conference has a combined focus on competent, professional teachers and children’s well-being. Our two keynote speakers have many years of experience working with and supporting children and young people.
Cathy Taylor, Chief Executive of the new Department for Child Protection has broad experience working with communities and young people in Queensland, and is now responsible for overseeing some of the recommendations made in the Nyland Royal Commission report. Appointed last September, Ms Taylor will provide insights into the department and on how we can ensure all children have access to safe, well supported learning environments.
