This book powerfully sets out the case for Transitional
Safeguarding, a new approach to protection and safeguarding
designed to address the needs and behaviours of young people aged
15-24 who are falling between gaps in current systems, with often
devastating results. Addressing the gaps in the current system, it
outlines how the specific needs of young people can be met through
this approach. Written by leading experts in this area with strong
practice networks, it presents up-to-date evidence for its
effectiveness, and also uses examples from practice to illustrate
the ways in which services are beginning to address these issues.
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.
