2025 THEME - The Good, The Bad, The Digital:  Helping Children Walk Safely in Digital Spaces! 

The CSPN 2025 conference will focus on all things digital. The past two decades have witnessed rapid social change through the globalisation of digital communication. The unprecedented capacity to be connected online has also ushered in new and evolving safeguarding risks. As Christians working in the global community, we are optimistic that we can leverage the potential of digital technology to educate and inform our personnel . Come and join us as we explore fresh and innovative ways to enable children to flourish.
