A future where children and young people feel safe beyond their homes
We learn about about young people's experiences of harm and safety outside of the home. Working with professionals and communities, we use this learning to increase protection in young people's peer groups, schools and neighbourhoods.
To do this, we conduct research with young people, families and practitioners to inform practice, change policy and develop world-leading knowledge on child protection.
Our work covers three areas:
Research projects: we run multiple research projects on extra-familial harm and system responses. These research projects always have practical outputs to support practitioners working in this area.
Consultancy and learning services: We offer a range of consultancy and learning services including training, keynote speakers, e-learning packages and bespoke consultancy packages.
Strategic Engagement: our work informs the development of policy, commissioning and legislation, as well as practice. We have a number of strategic groups who work together to implement the learning from our research projects into their sectors and organisations.
