1: Introduction: Contextual Safeguarding but not as you know it

Rights and permissions Cite this chapter

In this introductory chapter, we chart stages through which Contextual Safeguarding (CS) has been implemented since 2015. In doing so, we outline the four domains of the CS framework and indicate how the chapters in this edited collection deepen how each is understood. Reflecting on where we began, where we have got to and where we are going, this chapter explains why there is far more to understand about the implications of CS, and how the values underpinning the approach may assist on that learning journey. Viewing the domains of CS through the lens of its values brings us closer to an ethical adoption of the approach and illustrates the paradigm shift required in research, policy and practice for full system implementation to be realised.
