| Abstract | We present findings from a research project with youth in a German refugee accommodation centre. In partnership with an organisation that delivered a refugee group mentorship programme, we piloted elements of 'Contextual Safeguarding': an innovative practice framework to child protection developed and embedded into statutory guidance in the United Kingdom (UK) to address significant harm to youth in extra-familial relationships and settings. This study was the first piloting of Contextual Safeguarding in another European country, with refugee youth. We documented the implementation of Contextual Safeguarding approaches over 18-months through qualitative methods, supported by a review of the literature on refugee youth and extra-familial harm in Europe. European child protection systems struggle to protect refugee youth from extra-familial harm, compounded by a lack of evidence on refugee youth's multi-faceted experiences of harm in their communities and approaches to increase safety in these spaces. Our findings suggest that Contextual Safeguarding offers an innovative theoretical and practice framework to identify and respond to refugee youth's contextualised experiences of harm and safety needs. Pilot activities enriched the mentoring programme, but opportunities to create safety in spaces were limited by a lack of capacity, partnerships, and legislative and policy frameworks to facilitate the approach. |
