Transitional Safeguarding is an "approach to safeguarding adolescents and young adults fluidly' and builds on the best available evidence, learns from both children's and adult safeguarding practice.  Further to learning identified in the Kate SAR, CSAB in collaboration with Cumbria Safeguarding Children's partnership are facilitating a lunch and learn session to formally launch a Transitional Safeguarding Procedure for children and young adults at risk of exploitation.

The procedure sets out the arrangements for young people aged 17.5 years and above, whose circumstances may mean that safeguarding adults' procedures would apply when they are 18.
