Bridging The Gap: Transitional Safeguarding and Exploitation (YHMAST)
Outline
Following their popular Transitional Safeguarding Masterclass in November 2025, this year’s Yorkshire & Humber Multi-agency Safeguarding Trainers (YHMAST) regional conference will explore how a Transitional Safeguarding approach can strengthen responses to exploitation.
Young people affected by exploitation and other forms of contextual harm often continue to experience significant risks beyond their 18th birthday. However, support, services and safeguarding responsibilities can change considerably during this period, creating challenges for young people, families and professionals alike.
Through contributions from three expert speakers and facilitated Q&A, this conference will:
- Explore the relationship between Transitional Safeguarding and exploitation
- Examine the experiences and needs of young people moving towards adulthood
- Consider how children’s and adults’ services can work together more effectively
- Share emerging learning, research and examples of local practice
Audience
This event is free to access and open to all Yorkshire and Humber professionals, including strategic leaders, managers and practitioners working across safeguarding partnerships, children’s social care, adult social care, health, education, youth justice, policing, community safety, housing and the voluntary and community sector.
