With ever-increasing numbers of young people coming to harm outside of the home, safety planning has become an essential tool to safeguard.
About this Event

Safety Planning : A tool to support the safeguarding of young people at risk of extra-familial harm.

A masterclass.

With levels of violence involving young people increasing year on year (up 39%, West Midlands Police 20/21); fatalities due to violent crime increasing in 20/21; WMP mapping over fifty USG/OCGs and statements they are aware of over one hundred county lines connecting to Birmingham alone: it is imperative a robust understanding of the landscape is developed.


Practice of working with young people exposed to this level of harm has not yet caught up with the real-time risks experienced. Safety planning is an essential part of the safeguarding of this cohort of young people, and is often underused and misunderstood. An overhaul in quality, competence and confidence in this practice is necessary to safeguard more young people from the harms they face.


This training includes workshop style activities, real-life case studies and scenarios to apply learning to.

A certificate will be provided upon completion for CPD portfolio purposes.


This training is designed for professionals engaging with those at risk of, or exposed to, community violence, exploitation and trafficking. This may include youth workers, youth offending practitioners, health workers, educators, support services, police and social care.

Learning Outcomes:

- Developing an understanding of what defines ‘safety’ in this context, its categorisation and how it can be assessed, applying a realism lens.

- Develop an understanding of contextual safeguarding, and why it is an imperative framework when the risk is outside of the home.

- Develop an understanding of why safety plans are essential when supporting young people at risk of extra-familial harm.

- Develop an understanding of applying both a relationship-based and a trauma-informed lens to supporting victims of extra-familial harm in the context of safety planning.

- Develop different tools and methodologies that can be applied to create a quality safety plan, including body mapping, place and space mapping, active and passive plans, case studies and activities.


This training will run 10am-4pm.


Utilising a network of highly-skilled professionals across youth work, violence intervention, and social care, Safer:Now trainers have decades of experience in-built into the content of the training offer.
