The firm held its annual conference virtually this year, which focused on the issue of child contact.

The conference was supported by the University of Derby who hosted the event on their in-house platform ‘Blackboard’ and provided technical support.

It was attended by a record 165 delegates from across the East Midlands representing the legal, local authority and Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service professions.

Fiona Moffat, from Timms, said: “Timms always donate to a charity as part of this event and we were delighted to again support Derby Child Contact Centre and, this year, also the Burton centre, who both have a very important role to play in the childcare system.”
