Supporting Victims through Partnership, Provision and Protection
Pledging to end violence against women and girls, the Government launched a national strategy entitled, ‘Call to End Violence Against Women and Girls’ in March 2011, followed by annual updates including, most recently, ‘Action Plan 2014’.
In addition to strengthening the legal and policy framework for tackling violence against women and girls, ‘Action Plan 2014’ underlines the need to establish a culture within all agencies that is clearly focused on the needs of the victim and taking a partnership approach, with better leadership and increased accountability.
With the Government targeting clear outcomes by March 2015, this timely symposium provides an invaluable opportunity for local authorities and practitioners from across the police, social and health services to assess progress made towards tackling violence against women and girls and explore the next steps to protect victims.
I am pleased to advise you that we offer a 20% early registration discount off the standard delegate rates for all bookings received by 16th April 2014. For further details about the symposium, please refer to the enclosed event brochure. http://www.publicpolicyexchange.co.uk/events

Venue Multi-faith Centre, University of Derby, Kedleston Road, Derby, DE22 1GB.
Description This seminar will bring together Islamic Studies educators from universities and Muslim institutions Darul Ulooms, Jamias, Hawzas and Madrassas to discuss, debate and share their different approaches to the teaching of Islamic Studies in Britain, and to thus demonstrate the synergies that are possible between their respective approaches.
Our recent research indicates that Britain is less Christian, more secular and more religiously plural that it was 10 years ago (Weller, Purdam, Ghanea and Cheruvallil-Contractor 2013). Furthermore as demonstrated by the 2011 survey Muslims are the second largest religious group after Christianity. Young British Muslims are seeking to critically engage with their faith and are increasingly seeking to study Islamic Studies. This is partly in order to better understand their identities as British Muslims and their roles in modern Britain.
Islamic Studies provision in the UK is firstly taught at universities, where it is perceived to be secular, critical and modern. Secondly classical Islamic studies is taught at Muslim institutions such as Darul Ulooms, Jamias, Hawzas and Madrassas, where it is perceived to be confessional, non-critical and out-dated. While some aspects of such dichotomisation may be true our previous funded research (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) indicates that the boundaries between these two approaches are much less rigid and much more permeable.
Our research also indicates that the two sides of this dichotomy rarely have the opportunity to come together or learn from each other’s curricula, pedagogy and philosophical approaches. However it is imperative that opportunities for such cross-fertilisation are developed, which can lead to models of Islamic studies that can enhance student employability; lead to interfaith and inter-cultural dialogue; and enable society to be more cohesive and understanding of diversity. In this context, the proposed seminar will bring together educators to share and learn from each other’s pedagogies and to thus develop collaborative teaching models.
Proposed Programme 10 - 10:30 Welcome and Introductions
10:30 to 11:30 Panel: Current Contexts: Teaching Islamic Studies in Britain (This session will include three presentations by Islamic Studies educators from Universities and Muslim Institutions – speakers to be confirmed)
