Looking for love: What role do love and protection play in supporting a strength-based approach to assessing and responding to peer relationships in

保护受家庭外伤害影响的儿童和青少年的做法（标题延续）在青春期，年轻人开始从家庭中获得更大的独立性，并发展更广泛的社会网络，同伴关系发挥着独特和强大的作用。同时，他们将更有可能暴露在发生在家庭之外的伤害中。英国的儿童保护系统正越来越多地认识到并应对这种伤害，并考虑到同伴关系在年轻人的安全体验中可能发挥的作用。然而，这一未被充分探索的研究和实践领域位于传统上通过风险聚焦镜头来构建年轻人及其同伴关系的实践和政策环境中。这项研究的目的是探索同伴关系的作用，作为一个潜在的途径，以保护年轻人暴露在他们的家庭之外的伤害。为此，它将考虑爱与保护的主题，支持在保护工作中采用基于实力的方法来评估和应对同伴关系。在与Safer London（一个支持受剥削和暴力影响的年轻人的组织）的合作下，这项研究将让年轻人参与到参与性研究中，以突出他们的经历，即同伴关系在与发生在家庭之外的伤害有关的创造安全方面所起的作用。这将与案件档案审查和与社会护理从业人员的访谈相吻合。这项研究提供了一个机会，重新定义如何在保护背景下看待同伴关系，并为制定针对年轻人和同伴群体的政策和实践提供信息。

safeguarding practice with children and young people affected by extrafamilial harm (title continuation)During adolescence young people begin to enjoy greater independence from family and develop wider social networks, with peer relationships playing a unique and powerful role. Simultaneously, they will be more likely to be exposed to harm that happens outside of the home. The child protection system in the UK is increasingly recognising and responding to such harm and considering the role that peer relationships can play in young people's experience of safety. However, this underexplored area of research and practice sits within a practice and policy landscape which has traditionally framed young people and their peer relationships through a risk focussed lens. This research aims to explore the role of peer relationships as a potential route to protection for young people exposed to harm outside of their home. It will do this by considering the themes of love and protection in supporting a strength-based approach to assessing and responding to peer relationships in safeguarding work. In collaboration with Safer London, an organisation supporting young people affected by exploitation and violence, this research will engage young people in participatory research to foreground their experiences on the role that peer relationships play in creating safety in relation to harm that happens outside the home. This will be dovetailed with case file reviews and interviews with social care practitioners. This research provides an opportunity to reframe how peer relationships are viewed in a safeguarding context and inform developing policy and practice for young people and peer groups.
