How can social care and schools work together to increase safety for young people? What does a contextual safeguarding response look like in a school? What is the referral pathway and what responses are available?
In this guide we provide resources for strategic leaders and practitioners interested in developing contextual approaches to extra-familial harm (EFH) in and around schools.
The briefing is set out in five parts:
- School context processes: where school contexts fit in the safeguarding system
- School Assessments
- Student Safety Summits
- School partnership meetings
- When harm doesn't reach a threshold
