No one really knew me. It felt like I had to explain my story over and over. And after everything – all the preparation, all the talks about independence and support – this was it? This was what being ‘ready’ looked like?

Background
Every year, vulnerable young people transition into adulthood without the support they need. The assumption that turning 18 means full autonomy is costing lives.
Young people who have experienced trauma, exploitation, or significant care needs are often supported through child-focused services. However, when they turn 18, many of these services withdraw support based on the assumption that adulthood equates to full autonomy. This transition fails to account for the lasting impact of trauma, which can affect decision-making, risk assessment, and overall well-being.
Collingwood Learning were asked by Sheffield Adult Safeguarding Partnership (SASP) to deliver a facilitated session for over 150 delegates at a safeguarding conference dedicated to transition in safeguarding.
SASP wanted delegates to feel the real impact of safeguarding issues but needed to do so safely, respectfully and with emotional authenticity.
Professionals attending the conference came from many different services. They needed shared understanding, empathy and clarity about the lived experiences behind the systems they work in, and to understand the importance of multi-agency working.

The Approach
We delivered an immersive and interactive session, which goes well beyond theory and brings real safeguarding challenges to life, using video narrative and live actors. Grounded in authentic lived experience, our facilitated session:
• Introduced a brand new, specially created video monologue, telling the story of a young adult impacted by trauma and the gaps in intervention.
• Paused at key moments for group discussions with delegates, identifying warning signs and missed opportunities.
• Engaged learners in scenario-based interactions, where professional actors replayed critical moments and simulated alternative interventions suggested by participants.
The combination of these approaches created a highly engaging experience designed to meet the learning objectives and helped the learners consider their responsibilities in identifying safeguarding issues and responding effectively to them in professional settings.
