Professional Development Day 2026: Who has power in custody?

Join the National Appropriate Adult Network (NAAN) for an engaging Professional Development Day on October 13, 2026, at Birmingham City University! This year, we’re diving into a thought-provoking question: Who really holds power in police custody? Throughout the day, we’ll explore the perceptions of power among appropriate adults, custody officers, solicitors, and the individuals they support. Expect lively discussions, fresh perspectives, and practical insights you can apply in your work. You’ll also have the chance to connect with fellow professionals, share experiences, and remind yourself that you’re not alone in this important mission. With a packed agenda featuring expert speakers and panels, this is more than just a conference—it’s a unique opportunity to learn, network, and grow. Don’t miss out!
