How to Help our Most Vulnerable Children: Camila Batmanghelidjh at TEDxOxford

Camila Batmanghelidjh CBE is the founder and director of Kids Company and has been a psychotherapist for more than twenty years. In April 2008 Kids Company was awarded government funding of £12.7 million over three years through the Department for Children, Schools and Families, to fund their work with the 400 most disturbed young people over the age of 14. Camila has created a unique and pioneering approach in delivering services to vulnerable children. She has always focused the organisation's activities on the needs of the most vulnerable client group without making compromises in order to hit current trends or government priorities. She considers herself very privileged to be working with what she describes as extraordinarily courageous and dignified children.

TEDxOxford is organised by University of Oxford students, aiming to bring together the young minds of tomorrow's world with the movers and shakers of today. TEDxOxford is kindly sponsored by Neptune Investment Management - http://www.neptunefunds.com

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
