In today’s podcast you are joined in conversation with our Education and Transition Lead, Steve Baguley and our guest speaker Karen Wright, Senior Manager Safeguarding Adults for Northumberland.

Steve has worked the last six years with areas across the country on exploitation, adolescent safeguarding and the transition into adulthood. This work has been across both children and adult partnerships, sharing learning, practice, research, and resources to help inform local responses.

He has authored a report “Exploitation – It Does Not Stop Because You Turn 18” and also developed a benchmarking tool to support practice working with 16/17-year-olds and the transition into adulthood. He delivers workshops, presentations and training in this area.

Karen Wright is a Senior Manager, Safeguarding Adults, which includes Business Management for the Northumberland Children and Adults Safeguarding Partnership. Karen has shared her email address, should anyone wish to contact her; [email protected]
