Online Training and Events
Online Training:
We regularly run online training. These are a curation of our best, tried and tested training options, cut into bite-sized online workshops. You can attend as individuals, or invite your teams to join too.
Community of Practice Events (CoP):
Every month, we run a virtual, 1-1.5 hour event to discuss a particular safeguarding topic. This is a safe space for knowledge and reflection, attended by experts on extra-familial harm/risk outside the home. We all share our knowledge on what works and what doesn’t, plus it’s a great place to meet like-minded people!
See a list of all our upcoming online training and CoP events on our Eventbrite.
Supporting Young People’s Safety and Wellbeing Online CoP

Wellbeing CoP
Join our free, online Community of Practice event on wellbeing. We’re sharing wellbeing tips that are carefully tailored to safeguarding professionals. We’ll teach you how to identify and prevent burnout, before it becomes a problem. Plus, there will be a space to celebrate personal success stories as a collective of likeminded people.
Disrupting Exploitation CoP
Guest Speaker: Lin Sands
A significant portion of Lin’s work has focused on modernising and updating the NWG Exploitation Toolkit, one of the first resources of its kind developed in the country. She has collaborated closely with the NWG team and its members to make the toolkit more accessible for all partners and individuals working in this field.
Contextual Safeguarding
Contextual Safeguarding is an evidence-informed model that highlights how safeguarding extends beyond the home and young people’s safety is influenced by multiple contexts.
You will gain actionable insights into identifying, assessing, and responding to risks in the everyday spaces young people occupy.
Safety Planning for Risk Outside the Home (ROTH)
What Do We Mean By Safety Planning for Risk Outside the Home?
Safety Planning is a proactive, person-centred approach to identifying and preparing for potential risks or crisis situations. At its core, it’s about empowering individuals with tools, strategies, and support networks that can help them feel safer and more in control of their circumstances.
As part of this, we’ve conducted a national piece of research exploring how safety planning is currently being approached across different regions and sectors. We’ll share key findings, highlight examples of innovative practice, and open up the discussion about where we go from here.
This is also an opportunity to hear from you – to understand challenges, share successes, and learn from best practice together.
We invite you to PAUSE, REFLECT, LEARN, and SHARE your experiences around Safety Planning for Risk Outside the Home in a supportive and engaging environment.
