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.

During adolescence, young people are exposed to a range of risks
beyond their family homes including sexual and criminal
exploitation, peer-on-peer abuse and gang-related violence.
However, it has only been over the past two decades that the
critical safeguarding implications of these harms have started to
be recognised. Social care organisations are increasingly
experimenting with new approaches but continue to experience
challenges in supporting affected young people and their families.
This book analyses the results of the first rapid evidence
assessment of social care organisations' responses to risks and
harms outside the home across 10 countries. The authors highlight
key areas for service development, give insights into how these
risks and harms can be understood, and consider wider implications
for policy and practice.

The issue of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) is firmly in the
public spotlight internationally and in the UK, but just how well
is it understood? To date, many CSE-related services have been
developed in reaction to high profile cases rather than being
designed more strategically. This much-needed book breaks new
ground by considering how psychosocial, feminist and
geo-environmental theories, amongst others, can improve practice
understanding and interventions. Edited by one of the leading
scholars in the field, this is an essential text for students and
those planning strategic interventions and practice activities in
social, youth and therapeutic work with young people, as it
supports understanding of how CSE arises and how to challenge the
nature of the abuse.
Focusing on young people and adolescence, this book explores the
complexity of contemporary adolescent safeguarding. It highlights
evidence-informed practice and innovation in this area at the work,
serving as an accessible and invaluable resource for all working
with and supporting young people facing risk and harm. Core themes
covered by the book are the nature of harms facing some young
people, the potential pitfalls of some professional responses, and
the current legal framework for safeguarding young people where
harm occurs outside the family home. It includes an overview of
adolescent development, and argues for a holistic, systemic
response that addresses the structural disadvantage facing many
young people at risk and incorporates participatory and
trauma-informed practice designed to promote resilience. It draws
on innovative approaches in local areas, such as Transitional
Safeguarding, to make the case for a person-centred,
evidence-informed and rights-based approach to safeguarding young
people. As well as being invaluable to practitioners, managers and
strategic leaders working in this field, this is also ideally
suited to be a text for any social work course or professional
development programme on adolescent safeguarding practice.

Awareness of peer-on-peer abuse is on the rise and is a matter of
increasing international concern. Abuse Between Young People: A
Contextual Account is the first book to offer a contextualised
narrative of peer-on-peer abuse that moves beyond recognising an
association between environments and individual choice, and
illustrates the ways in which such interplay occurs. Using both
sociological and feminist perspectives, Firmin reshapes the way
that peer-on-peer abuse is perceived and investigates the effect of
gendered social context on the nature of abuse between young
people. This text also uses an in-depth case study to explore
associations between abusive incidents and young people's homes,
peer groups, schools and neighbourhoods, in addition to broader
societal influences such as pornography and politics. National and
international policies are woven into each chapter, along with
insights from parenting programmes, the troubled families' agenda,
and bullying and community safety policies. Abuse Between Young
People presents a clear insight into the various contexts that
affect the nature of peer-on-peer abuse, providing a thorough
analysis into the debates on this issue. In so doing, Firmin
creates a vital contextual approach to safeguarding young people
affected by this issue. It is invaluable reading for students and
researchers in social work, education, criminology, sociology and
psychology, as well as practitioners and policymakers concerned
with the protection of young people.
