A workshop for helping professionals that invites us to reimagine safety beyond control and surveillance as a practice of resistance. Register here.

This interactive 3-hour workshop explores how safeguarding practices can be reimagined through an anti-oppressive and justice-based lens, equipping helping professionals with tools to provide support in times of crisis while actively resisting systemic oppression and working to reduce harm.

Safeguarding is often framed through institutional and risk-averse models that reinforce power differentials and hierarchies, heighten surveillance, and undermine personal agency. This session interrogates our role and our complicity within oppressive systems, and the personal agency and responsibility that we have in shaping our safeguarding practices towards more power and liberation.
