We wanted to carry out this project because in our practice we were seeing and experiencing safeguarding issues which we had limited or no experience with at a frequency like never before. These were a result of the change in the way young people engage with each other following and during the COVID-19 pandemic and also as a result of the limited socialisation they had experienced over the last few years. Our objectives for this project were to host a ‘Safeguarding Our Young People’ conference in Wales as well as participate in best practice visits to our partner countries. We did this with the aim of learning from other youth practitioners and the norms of youth engagement in their countries. We wanted to ensure that by participating in this project those involved would be able to deliver a higher quality of youth work. We had overall targets of 1. Informally educating 32 Youth Workers about new issues facing young people such as sexting, sextortion, cyberbullying, online radicalisation and grooming 2. Involved organisations sharing current safeguarding practices that have been highlighted as ‘good practice’ 3. Production of a toolkit/guide on how to safeguard young people in a digital age to be sent to 40 Organisations (10 per country) 4. Create an E-learning module so that other Youth Workers can learn about new issues facing young people (100 usage per country) 5. 64 additional participants, 48 dignitaries, 48 young people, and 3 additional speakers. Our primary goal was and continues to be encouraging top-quality safeguarding within the youth field across Europe and further afield by providing tangible pathways to do this across organisations and borders. Over the course of the time period of this project, many organisations changed the way they worked with young people and adapted to the delivery of youth work in an online space. However, as the project progressed we became more and more aware of the lack of understanding of the basic safeguarding of young people, particularly across smaller, voluntary organisations. The discussions and learning had and created by this project reflect this idea of a consistent approach to safeguarding young people and the upskilling, education and empowerment of young people who can then advocate for themselves or others in the event of abuse taking place. The pandemic demonstrated the need for young people to be able to do this without consistent direct contact with safe adults in schools and other youth provisions and the need for professionals to understand and share this knowledge and network of ‘in the know’ organisations and resources with young people. Collectively we aim to share best practices that take the best and most effective aspects of safeguarding practice across our 4 organisations deliveries in Spain, Croatia, Germany and Wales and highlight the importance of a well-rounded approach to safeguarding that gives young people the knowledge and skills to stand up for their own wellbeing and the confidence to seek support from youth practitioners. This looks at the holistic practices shared by organisations as well as rigid and well understood reporting and recording guidance, met by professionals who understand the signs, symptoms and potential origins of young peoples safeguarding needs.
