The WSSCP provides access to a range of e-Learning courses to help you in your work.

This video-based course is for anyone who works with children and young people and will support you to explore what Contextual Safeguarding is, how it works in practice, and how you can apply it to your own professional area of work.

You will learn about the societal responses to growing up that children and young people have and how these have changed in recent years along with the importance of cognitive development on adolescent safeguarding and the extra-familial risks that some children and young people experience.

You will also explore the ways in which adolescent safeguarding differs from traditional child protection/adult safeguarding and, therefore, the different approach it needs, and how Contextual Safeguarding approaches help to address adolescent risk outside the home.
