Harm Outside the Home - Contextual Safeguarding

Contextual Safeguarding - is an approach to understanding, and responding to, children (those under the age of 18 yrs) and young adult’s experience of significant harm that lies outside their families. Contextual safeguarding includes child sexual exploitation, missing children, gangs, county lines, radicalisation, modern slavery and all forms of criminal exploitation. There are clear links across these areas. 

Queensberry AP will be delivering the training in conjunction with Cheshire Easts Contextual Safeguarding Leads. Queensberry AP work directly with young people and their families delivering face to face intervention using a trauma-informed and contextual safeguarding approach to tackle all forms of exploitation and reduce the risk of harm.

PLEASE HELP US TO HELP YOU: an appeal for mutual support by polite request…

The training team and guest expert presenters dedicate time and effort putting together a consistent and reliable offer that is as easy as possible for everyone to access. Unfortunately, we sometimes find practitioners may book onto the longer courses and then without reason or notice, do not attend.

The multi-agency nature of the learning space is what makes the CESCP training opportunity significant and valuable. Withdrawing from a course without notice is not fair for the presenters or other attendees who would otherwise benefit from the group mix. However, we do understand that unforeseeable issues may arise which affect individuals who fully intend to participate and then later find they can’t for whatever reason.

In all circumstances, we politely request that:

• Every effort is made to fulfil the booking commitment where your learning is also prioritised by your line manager and team.
• The reason for non-attendance is given prior to the course starting (preferably days in advance if known). This will help us to gain an understanding of the types of difficulties that practitioners are experiencing when trying to access their booked learning, for us to then consider more holistically how recurring issues with non-attendance may be resolved.
