“Great opportunity to learn and hear practical ways that contextualized safeguarding is incorporated into community settings. Excellent information and best practice shared. Would definitely recommend to anyone working alongside young people.”

“I attended yesterday and found it brilliant. Well done Helena, good information shared which I reasonated with a lot. I am a promoter of Prof Firmins work and supported the first contextual safeguarding pilot in Hackney many year ago. Around that time practitioners like myself witnessed the power of contextual safeguarding. School nurses working with librarians to a plain clothes police officers in the local McDonalds engaging with the known vulnerable, and exploited children. It was evidence of how collaborative work at all levels is essential and the need for professional to communicate effectively with the focus of the child at the centre.”

“Thank you -very beneficial”

“Thank you! Really good information and thought-provoking in terms of the safeguarding interventions for places rather than people.”
