Abstract

This briefing shares findings from an international scoping review exploring the extent to which the practice of moving children into out-of-home care placements or secure accommodations is present in other child protection systems as a safeguarding response to extra-familial harm. The purpose of this briefing is to situate the findings of the Securing Safety within wider international literature, as the Contextual Safeguarding Programme is beginning to map out responses to extra-familial harm internationally, with a view to considering the applicability of Contextual Safeguarding to the international child protection field.
