Contextual Safeguarding: Re-writing the rules of child protection | Carlene Firmin | TEDxTottenham
In this groundbreaking talk Dr Firmin, the founder of Contextual Safeguarding outlines three things.
One: how contexts beyond families are associated with abuse.
Two: how traditional child protection systems fail to engage with these contextual dynamics.
Three: the components of the Contextual Safeguarding system that would redefine what child protection means.
With special thanks to core the TEDxTottenham organising team, volunteers and cherished partners - without you this experience would not be possible. Our event history can be found at TEDxTottenham.com.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised. Dr Carlene Firmin MBE has spent over a decade championing the needs of young people affected by violence and abuse - attempting to reshape policies and practices intended to keep them safe. She spent three years interviewing girls and young women around England affected by gang violence - work that changes Government policy on youth violence and led to the funding of specialist services for gang-associated young women in 2011. Since then Carlene’s work has broadened to look at issues such as sexual and criminal exploitation, abuse in teenage relationships and sexual harassment in schools, and resulted in her calling for fundamental reforms to the way that child protection systems have been designed in the UK. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thank yo social media and youtube for this new wave of learning and amazing talk during the pandemic. Thank you!
Really clear and thought provoking presentation. It would have been nice had we had slightly more time to read the slides, but I learned a lot here, thank you.
Great presentation. The audio was recorded low and struggled to hear it clearly. However, exceptionally insightful information.
Fantastic and focused presentation
Excellent and so true.
SO much sense. Only when the boy was asked about his reasons for truanting was the reason understood rather than a 'system led' approached that decided for him what the problem was rather than listen to what he said the problem was. Listen to young people and their reasons rather than have 'experts' decide the reasons on their behalf.
Thank you!!!
great talk
Very informative
A very good presentation. However, all systems aimed at safeguarding have a high level of self denial. By that I mean the idea that we can manage the environment outside of the home in a way as to safeguard or raise the safety of children to a satisfactory level is an enormous task that will require a high level of surveillance, financial intervention and political will to change some of the risk factors presented to young people. And example of this is drugs. To prevent the drugs or guns from entering into certain communities is something that lays at the feet of politicians and security forces. This realisation is not new and has been known for many years, therefore the term Contextual safeguarding may be just another trend another soundbite without the energy and will to change how our communities function. Children that need safeguarding general don't come from affluent areas, why is that.

abuse knows no boundaries, children from affluent areas can also be in need of of safeguarding and it is a stereotype that people think that more children from less affluent areas are in need of more safeguarding. It may be that the later is more publicised because no one would like to think a doctor or solicitor could abuse their children but of course, non one bats an eyelid if they learn some kids on a council estate are the subject of child protection. It disturbs the society to think that educated people can be abusers. This is a sad fact of our society, we do not see beyond what the eyes want to see.
Fantastic video. Really enjoyed this, would love to get in touch with the speaker if anyone can signpost? .... a DSL.

Great video🎉
context would also look at professional negligence and hold professionals by the same standards that parents are held too therefore - thinking about when professionals don't dignose autism or other childhood oprganic disorders and chose instead to parent blame in a very misguided way
when does a strategy discussion take place after child protection services have been contacted? And if the 15 days have passed. Is it safe to say there is no need for a child protection conference? Would they work with me to resolve and problems?
The audio level is too low on this video
