Transitional Safeguarding - A Brief Introduction

# data[].attributes.body
Transitional Safeguarding is not a model, pathway, nor a prescribed framework – it is a concept that has been developed by Research in Practice to highlight the need to improve the safeguarding response to adolescents and young adults in a way that recognises the specific safeguarding risks and the dynamic developmental needs that this age group experience.

A core element of Transitional Safeguarding requires health practitioners to recognise that risk does not simply stop at the point somebody leaves your care. Transitional Safeguarding is not simply about safeguarding processes for those transitioning between services or out of a service. This approach encompasses wide ranging factors including risk, need, individual lived experience and compounding factors such as transition between services and legislation changes that affect a young person’s safety and wellbeing and can result in our young people falling between the gap of services as they approach 18 and the risk of harm remains the same or can increase as professionals withdraw care and support.
