Toward a Person-centered Approach to Safeguarding

The “Toward a Person-Centered Approach to Safeguarding” webinar explores how safeguarding practices can be reshaped to prioritize individuals’ autonomy, voice, and lived experiences. It emphasizes empowerment, collaboration with support networks, and respect for each person’s unique needs, while also addressing the organizational and cultural changes needed to implement this approach effectively. The goal is to move away from a one-size-fits-all model and toward safeguarding that is responsive, inclusive, and led by the individual.
