YHMAST Transitional Safeguarding and Exploitation Conference 2026
Young people affected by exploitation and other forms of contextual harm often continue to experience significant risks beyond their 18th birthday. However, support, services and safeguarding responsibilities can change considerably during this period, creating challenges for young people, families and professionals alike.
Through contributions from three expert speakers and facilitated Q&A, this conference will:
- Explore the relationship between Transitional Safeguarding and exploitation
- Examine the experiences and needs of young people moving towards adulthood
- Consider how children’s and adults’ services can work together more effectively
- Share emerging learning, research and examples of local practice
This event is free to access and open to all Yorkshire and Humber professionals, including strategic leaders, managers and practitioners working across safeguarding partnerships, children’s social care, adult social care, health, education, youth justice, policing, community safety, housing and the voluntary and community sector.

Multi-Agency Training: Recognising and responding to child sexual abuse within the family
Welcome to Safeguarding Calderdale
A Local Safeguarding Partnership’s primary focus must be the safety, protection and promotion of the welfare of all children, young people and adults at risk. Safeguarding is about promoting the rights and welfare of all people but also protecting the most vulnerable children, young people and adults from harm. Each and every one of us has a duty to safeguard, protect and promote the welfare of others. Safeguarding is everyone’s business.
