Beskrivning
This book offers a complete account of Contextual Safeguarding theory, policy, and practice frameworks for the first time. It highlights the particular challenge of extra-familial routes through which young people experience significant harm, such as child sexual exploitation, criminal exploitation, serious youth violence, domestic abuse in teenage relationships, bullying, gang-association, and radicalisation.Through analysing case reviews, observing professionals, and co-creating practices with them, Firmin provides a personal, philosophical, strategic, and practical account of the design, implementation and future of Contextual Safeguarding. Drawing together a wealth of practice examples, case studies, policy references, and practitioner insights for the first time, this book articulates a new safeguarding framework and provides a detailed account of its translation across an entire child protection system and its relevant component parts.It will be of interest to all scholars, students, and professionals working within social work, youth justice and youth work, policing and law enforcement, community safety, council services, forensic and clinical psychology, counselling, health, and education.

Recensioner i media

I heard Dr Firmin outline the principles of Contextual Safeguarding at the end of 2019 and I commented then that her ideas were among the most innovative I had encountered during some 30 years working in UK universities. Now that I’ve read this book I am even more convinced of its originality and importance. David Shemmings OBE PHD is emeritus professor of child protection research at the University of Kent, UK and visiting professor at Royal Holloway, University of London, UKIn my opinion, Contextual Safeguarding is one of the most significant developments for the safeguarding sector in many years. This book makes a vital contribution to the knowledge base, providing challenge and provoking thought in every chapter. Most impressively, it does so whilst also offering hope. It is essential reading for anyone interested in protecting young people and promoting safe communities.Dez Holmes, Director, Research in Practice and Research in Practice for Adults, UKIf you want to know what the ‘Contextual Safeguarding’ buzz is about, the new kid on the Child Protection block, you’ve arrived. This is a corker. In her inimitable style, Dr Carlene Firmin effortlessly unpacks this compelling, ground-breaking concept with a potency that leaves you wondering how we’ve ever done without it. An absolute game-changer for mis-labelled children and families needing protection from extra-familial harm - hope now on the horizon.Founder, SPACE (Stop & Prevent Adolescent Criminal Exploitation), UK
