Feels like a sad but fitting time to be launching our #radicalsafeguardingworkbook #ChildQ's story shows us how urgently we need alternatives to the 'safeguarding' cultures/practices in schools that criminalise/harm Black + brown children Download here: maslaha.org/Project/Radica…

The starting point for safeguarding should be safety, not 'risk.' We tried to imagine what a 'child affirming culture' (term by GenerationFIVE) could be - what cultures could foster safety and care rather than harm? This pyramid shares some ideas. shorturl.at/djAH1

The adultification of Black girls is one of the harmful cultures that led to the unthinkable abuse that #ChildQ experienced being possible. In the workbook we show how harmful cultures lead to overt harm through this pyramid - what would you add to this? maslaha.org/Project/Radica…

So grateful for this work on radical approaches to safeguarding by Maslaha, this is such a key point to begin disentangling our systems of care from systems of policing and punishment.

A must read for youth practitioners and so vital rnw when youth work courses + organisational and state policies are pushing practitioners to perform functions of policing, wanting us to abandon trust and love Well done Latifa Ak👁, Alex Joan Koo Maslaha No More Exclusions #Free 🇵🇸 & Soofiya!!

In March we launched our #radicalsafeguarding workbook. This week schools are renewing their annual safeguarding training. If you feel like safeguarding could be different but don’t know where to start, you can download the workbook for free here: maslaha.org/Project/Radica…

So exciting to work with you @Laurie_Eli and so inspiring to connect with practitioners on the ground already working in radical ways to build safer organisations and communities.
