OLD Adolescent Safeguarding in London: Second Edition (ASIL2)

The ASIL Handbook

Adolescent Safeguarding in London is a practice handbook for everyone who works to build safety with young Londoners facing different types of harm in their lives.

The handbook has been written with two audiences in mind: 

• Leaders collaborating within local safeguarding partnerships to promote safety, wellbeing, participation and life chances of children, young people, and young adults,
• Professionals who work directly with young Londoners and their families across different sectors including education, health, housing, police, social care, voluntary, community and faith (VCFS), and youth justice.

What are the key themes?

This handbook:

• recognises adolescence as a stage of development that begins around age ten and continues until at least the age of twenty-five,
• is about responding harms wherever they happen, and about services working together across multi-agency partnerships and local area boundaries to build safety with young Londoners, their families, and communities,
• makes the case for system leaders to collaborate in the design of holistic responses, and
• promotes relationship-based, trauma-informed and restorative approaches to building safety and improving life chances.
