<h3>‘Contextual Safeguarding and trauma related youth work practice – beyond terminology, what does this look like in practice for young people and practitioners?’</h3><h3>Zara McDonald and Mike Collyer (The Children’s Society &amp; Walsall Exploitation Reduction Team)</h3>

Workshop overview:
Drawing on practice-based experiences, this workshop will explore how, by utilising contextual safeguarding in the context of extra-familiar harm, young people have been supported. An understanding of the material impact of trauma on young people and the importance of language use by practitioners when dealing with such issues.
