| Summary: | The link to a podcast for the Contextualised Safeguarding Network concerning their group work intervention with children at risk of exploitation and their friendship group to build safety |
Description:
The Trauma Informed Pathfinder lead by East Sussex youth offending team have participated in a podcast on building on friendships to create safety (March 2022) for the Contextualised Safeguarding Network.
The podcast shares an example of how relationship-based approaches can be used when working with a peer group at risk of criminal exploitation.
The trauma informed pathfinder discussed how they brought a group of children at risk of criminal exploitation (known to the service) and their peer group together at a youth club. This way of working marked a shift from seeing friendships between children engaged in criminal or harmful activity as a source of risk, to building on the strengths of those friendships within the peer group to create safety.
