Episode 41,   Aug 23, 2021, 08:12 AM

A child or young person’s identity and lived experience can affect how they engage with professionals and services.

We spoke to Jahnine Davis and Nick Marsh, founders of Listen Up and Ineke Houtenbos, a senior consultant at the NSPCC about intersectionality and its application within safeguarding practice.

Listen to the episode to find out about why intersectional thinking is important in safeguarding, the impact of not taking an intersectional approach and why applying this approach to your practice can be helpful when working with children and young people.
