The Moore House Group is proud to be hosting our 2025 conference The Power of Language: Using Language with Care, a full-day professional development event led by internationally recognised psychologist and author, Dr Karen Treisman.
Taking place on Thursday 11 September 2025 at Crieff Hydro Hotel, this thought-provoking session explores how the language we use, whether in care plans, conversations, meetings or reports, shapes relationships, identity, and the experiences of care-experienced children and young people.
With real-world strategies and reflective insight, this event is a must for anyone working in social care, education, or trauma-informed settings.

Yesterday, The Moore House Group hosted our 2025 conference "The Power of Language: Using Language with Care," which was a brilliant, full day event facilitated by Dr. Karen Treisman at The Crieff Hydro
We brought together professionals from across social care, education, and ...fostering to explore something fundamental: the words we use every single day, and how our language can either build bridges for young people or create barriers.
This event was designed to equip attendees with practical tools to help them reframe narratives and respond to challenging situations with compassionate, trauma-informed language that fully aligns with the ambitions of #ThePromise.
We hope all our attendees left feeling inspired and, most importantly, ready to put these lessons into practice in their daily work.
👉 For those who couldn't make the event, we have a podcast interview coming out with Karen shortly that explores some of the topics and themes we discussed during the conference. Stay tuned!🎙️
