Description

Contextual Safeguarding and Child Protection: reframing the Rules by Carlene Firmin offers a comprehensive account of Contextual Safeguarding theory, policy, and practice frameworks. This book provides a personal and philosophical exploration of the design, implementation, and future of Contextual Safeguarding, drawing on case reviews, practitioner insights, and policy references. Firmin's work highlights the complexities of safeguarding young people who experience harm through extra-familial routes, such as child sexual exploitation and gang-association. By co-creating practices with professionals and observing their work, Firmin provides a strategic and practical account of Contextual Safeguarding. This book articulates a new safeguarding framework and explores its translation across the entire child protection system. Suitable for scholars, students, and professionals working in social work, youth justice, policing, community safety, and related fields, this book offers valuable insights into Contextual Safeguarding and its application in practice.
