Supervision Central

While we take a summer breather, we're revisiting one of our most-loved episodes from earlier this year...

How can we recognise safeguarding issues before they escalate?

In this episode, we’re diving into the critical skill of spotting early warning signs and exploring practical strategies—what we call “stoppers”—that can prevent harm before it develops further.

Safeguarding is about being proactive, not reactive.

This bite-sized conversation will encourage you to think critically about the steps you can take in your role to create safer, more inclusive environments.

We’ve also got a simple yet impactful challenge for you—listen in to find out more!

You’d think if a young person was being harmed, they’d tell someone. Especially if they want to.
But the biggest barrier often isn’t fear of the perpetrator, it’s fear of the social rules they live with every day.

"Don’t be a snitch.""Just laugh it off.""Don’t make a fuss."

These invisible codes run deep, and unless we challenge them, they can stop even the bravest young person from coming forward.

Chris reveals how the smallest actions can shift culture — and help young people feel safe to speak out.
