The Duchess is patron of school-based mental health charity Place2Be which is hosting the event in London's Canary Wharf.

Speakers include clinician and broadcaster Professor Tanya Byron, who will address the issue of cyberbullying and how young people can stay safe online, and Professor Stephen Scott from King's College London, who will talk about helping parents to raise well-adjusted children.

The Duchess will meet the experts, who also include head teachers and the founder of an addiction treatment centre, after listening to their speeches at the offices of Clifford Chance.

Place2Be supports 75,000 children in more than 200 schools in some of the most deprived areas of the UK. The issues it helps children to deal with include bullying, bereavement and family breakdown.

Catherine and Prince William attended the head offices of crime prevention charity Only Connect on a joint engagement on Tuesday.
