People involved in family court cases in Norfolk can now access free guidance and advice through a new website hosted by UEA. The Norfolk Family Courts information website is designed to help local families better understand the family justice system and access support where needed.

Public registration for non-SLS members will open on Oct 1st. If you’re an early career or precariously employed scholar or work outside of HE and would like to attend in person but train costs would preclude this, please do get in touch as we have a small budget to offer some support with this!

over the next few weeks, please do keep an eye out for these alongside registration information. *Interestingly, the report was embargoed until 2.30pm on September 4th 1957 but some accounts report it being published on September 5th.

This November 20th we'll be discussing the Report and its relevance 70 years on, with a particular focus on: · Wolfenden and the Private · Gender within and beyond Wolfenden · Wolfenden’s history and legacies. Details of speakers and their papers will be finalised and announced…

The Wolfenden Report has just marked* its 69th birthday, so it seems an opportune moment to share some further news about this event, including the focus of our three panels and some details about registration.

Really looking forward to continuing on with some of the projects I’ve been more recently developing, including the SLS funded Wolfenden at 70 conference which I’ve been plugging the past few weeks—which is, in fact, being hosted at LSBU, so they won’t be able to keep me away for long.

Cameron Giles @gilescameron.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

It has been a privilege to have had such a varied and enjoyable role over this time. I’ve been lucky to have had such a supportive environment to develop as a researcher. LSBU’s research groups and other platforms have been fantastic places to share early drafts of some ideas and papers.

Cameron Giles @gilescameron.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Of course, I will miss working with amazing LSBU colleagues on a day to day basis, although I hope to continue to work and collaborate with many. It feels bizarre to think that I joined in the middle of COVID and that that was only six years ago.

It’s 59 years since homosexuality was decriminalised in England and Wales so long as… You were in private accommodation There were only two of you (no threesomes or moresomes) Both of you were over the age of 21. NB Arrests for homosexual activity increased after the passing of this legislation.
