Participation as protection

Research in Practice and Research in Practice for Adults have published their Delivery Programmes for 2018-19, which detail their upcoming publications, resources, workshops, webinars, conferences and much more over the next twelve months.

In this podcast, Susannah Bowyer Assistant Director for Research in Practice, and Lisa Smith, Assistant Director for Research in Practice for Adults discuss the topics that feed into these programmes, including strengths based working, mental health and transitions.

Delivery Programmes for 2018-19

Lead author Carlene Firmin (University of Bedfordshire) and Research in Practice Director Dez Holmes discuss the Safeguarding and exploitation – complex, contextual and holistic approaches: Strategic Briefing. They reflect on the holistic approach needed to protect children and young people who are, or who are at risk of, being exploited. The current system is arguably not designed to meet the needs and risks that young people face outside the family home. They explain the rationale behind complex, contextual, transitional and holistic safeguarding approaches and how they overlap and complement each other. Looking at a case example, they outline how the child protection system needs to adapt strategically and operationally in order to respond to the harm that this young person faced. They also discuss the importance of working with parents as partners and the need to work with communities to enable an effective safeguarding response for young people facing harm outside of the home.

Safeguarding children and young people from exploitation

Kate Kayley, Learning and Development Officer at Research in Practice for Adults, speaks to Greater Manchester’s Complex Safeguarding lead Jayne Horan and Detective Sergeant Deborah Hurst of Programme Challenger in the Modern Slavery Unit. 

Relevant to both rural and urban areas, they discuss definitions of cuckooing, criminal exploitation and county lines in the context of what the issues look like in Greater Manchester. They consider what the harm can look like to young people and adults who are exploited, how to see those who are exploited as victims and not just perpetrators, and begin to outline the system-wide shifts needed to tackle exploitation and offer support. This Podcast is the first in a two part series.

At Research in Practice, we bring together academic research, practice expertise and the experiences of people accessing services. We then apply this knowledge to develop a range of resources and learning opportunities, as well as delivering tailored services, expertise and training.

We work closely with professionals across the children, families and adult sectors to ensure our work is truly sector-led and responds to the most pressing issues.
