Content Summary:
With a significant rise in harm occurring outside the home, and child protection frameworks not yet able to meet the changing needs, contextual safeguarding has come to the fore. Significant tools of the contextual safeguarding framework are safety planning, self-risk assessing, peer mapping, and location mapping which form a core part of this training through a trauma informed lens. This training is designed for any professionals working within settings engaging with those at risk of, or exposed to, community violence, exploitation and trafficking.
Learning Outcomes
- Developing an understanding of what defines ‘safety’ in this context, its categorisation and how it can be assessed, applying a realism lens
- Develop an understanding of why safety plans are essential when supporting young people at risk of extra-familial harm
- Develop a psychologically aware lens when safety planning, considering survival responses
- Develop different tools and methodologies that can be applied to create a quality safety plan, including body mapping, place and space mapping, active and passive plans, case studies and activities
- Considering school policy and practice
The training ensures the above learning objectives are met by providing the background knowledge, real-life case studies, reflection spaces, and participatory activities so that attendees not only learn but can apply the learning.
