The Contextual Safeguarding Young People's Podcast Series has been developed as part of the Scale Up Project and produced by Tanika Trent-McSherry. Featuring young people from across the London and National Scale Up sites, this is the first time you can hear young people sharing their views on all things related to Contextual Safeguarding. The series comprises of four episodes, each focusing on different contexts: schools, the role of social workers, friendships and peers and neighbourhoods. If you would like to share your views, please connect via Twitter: @C_S_Network @uniofbedsSYLRC and @DurhamSociology As the young people have told us, 'if you want to help us, then you need to hear us'.
In this first episode, of a four-part series exploring what young people have to say about all things related to Contextual Safeguarding, we ask them to share their views on safety in schools.
In this episode, you will hear from young people talking about the role of social workers and whether they think they can keep young people safe from harm outside of home.
In this third episode, we hear from young people across the Scale Up sites taking about their friendships and peer groups and what role they play in staying safe.
In this final episode of a four part series, you will hear young people sharing their reflections on safety in their local areas and exploring the idea of community guardianship.
