Please submit your idea for a presentation by Monday 13th March 2020 to:

Following a meeting of the SHLD conference committee, in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the decision has been made to postpone this year’s conference. The conference will instead be held in July 2021, and will retain the theme of ‘loss and remembering’.

We will re-launch the conference in the Autumn with new dates.

We realise this is a challenging and worrying time for everyone. We hope you are well and keeping safe, and look forward to being in touch later in the year.

With best wishes

Liz Tilley and Ian Davies, on behalf of the SHLD conference committee
