Safety Planning with Sean Monaghan: Safe Working With Young People At Risk.

Sean explains that,

“The practice of working with young people exposed to this level of harm has not yet caught up with the real-time risks experienced. Safety planning is an essential part of safeguarding this cohort of young people and is often underused and misunderstood. An overhaul in quality, competence and confidence in this practice is necessary to safeguard more young people from the harms they face. ”

Throughout the session you will:

1. Develop a greater understanding of what defines safety in this context, its categorisation and how it can be assessed through the lens of realism;

2. Explore contextual safeguarding and discover why it is an imperative framework when risks extend beyond the home environment;

3. Develop an understanding of applying both a relationship-based and a trauma-informed lens to supporting victims of extra-familial harm in the context of safety planning.

Facilitated by: Sean Monaghan
