This System Review Tool aims to support service leaders and/or other researchers who are evaluating, or exploring, the use of Contextual Safeguarding to identify and assess an organisations/partnership’s progress in implementing a Contextual Safeguarding approach.
In this blog post Tony Meehan outlines the Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) approach and how it can be used alongside and complement Contextual Safeguarding. Tony Meehan is a practitioner of Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) supporting families where child-to-parent violence is a feature.
