About this Event

The Moore House Group is proud to present the STANCE Conference 2026. This landmark event serves as a bridge between theory and practice, bringing together practitioners, clinicians, and educators from across the sectors of residential care, fostering, psychology, and specialist education.

At its heart, STANCE is about building a community of practice. We are dedicated to creating a space where professionals can collaborate, innovate, and refocus on what matters most: the wellbeing and development of care-experienced and neurodivergent young people.


2026 Keynote Speakers

We are set to host an exceptional lineup of speakers who bring a powerful blend of professional expertise and lived experience:

  • Alex Partridge: Founder of LADBible & UNILAD and a prominent ADHD Advocate.
  • Chris Wild: Renowned Author and Care Consultant.
  • Professor Mark Smith: University of Dundee, leading voice in social work and education.

Be part of the conversation. Take your #STANCE.
