Safeguarding Transgender Young People from Exploitation

This session will explore how barriers in society, can lead to us failing to protect trans and non binary young people from exploitation and harm, and what we can do to overcome these in our practice and in our systems. It will also seek to promote a person centred and holistic approach to understanding and responding to exploitation and abuse, and explore the specific risks faced by transgender children and young people.
