The BSCB holds an annual conference, which focuses on a specific element of safeguarding children and young people. The conferences are open to practitioners from statutory, voluntary and private sectors', working in both children and adult services.

The 2010 conference, entitled 'Serious Case Reviews: Making a difference, focused on the findings of local Serious Case Reviews in Buckinghamshire; issues considered on the day included parental incapacity, bereavement and domestic violence. The conference was open to practitioners from the statutory, voluntary and private sectors, working both in the childrens, and vulnerable adults, workforce.

The 2009 conference, entitled 'Think Family: Working with families where there are parental mental health needs' looked at the need to ensure that Children and Adult Services work together so that the needs of the whole family is considered, rather than those of the parent or child in isolation. Work on the outcomes from this event is currently being undertaken by the BSCB

The 2008 conference, entitled 'Child Sexual Abuse: Concerns and Responses', considered the impact of child sexual abuse, barriers to disclosure and the vulnerability of disabled children and those with special needs.
