What Porn, Social Media & Silence Are Teaching Young People About Consent

vendredi 22 mai 2026 • Durée 26:20

⚠️ Content warning: This episode contains discussion of sexual violence, coercion, pornography, misogyny, and online abuse.


Drawing from over 50,000 anonymous testimonies submitted to Everyone’s Invited, this episode explores what happens when sexual violence, misogyny, and online abuse become so common that young people begin to believe they are simply 'normal'.


Chris speaks with Alex Somers about the culture young people are growing up in and the realities many adults still don’t want to face.


Together, they unpack:

  • why pornography is increasingly shaping young people’s understanding of sex, consent, and relationships
  • the rise of violent sexual behaviours becoming normalised among teenagers
  • the toxic online narratives influencing both boys and girls
  • the dangerous gap between what young people experience and what adults are willing to talk about
  • how shame, silence, and fear stop young people from speaking out
  • and whether schools, parents, tech companies, and government are failing to keep up with the realities young people are navigating every day.

This is an uncomfortable but essential conversation.

Burnout Is a Safeguarding Risk: The Hidden Danger Behind Decision Fatigue

vendredi 8 mai 2026 • Durée 28:14

What if burnout isn’t just a wellbeing issue?

What if it’s already affecting safeguarding decisions in schools?


In this brutally honest episode, Chris chats down with organisational psychologist Karen Forshaw to unpack the safeguarding risks created by chronic stress and impossible workloads.


Because stressed safeguarding professionals don’t just feel exhausted - they'll miss things, become too reactive, and eventually the system will start failing the very ones it was designed to protect.


This episode explores:

  • why overloaded DSLs become vulnerable to decision fatigue
  • how safeguarding cultures silently create risk
  • the link between burnout and flawed judgement


This is a conversation every school leader needs to hear!

Chemsex and Control: When Safeguarding Becomes Harmful

vendredi 6 février 2026 • Durée 29:21

How do you respond when someone discloses chemsex, all without panic, judgment, or stripping away their dignity?


In this episode, Matthew Fuller joins us to explore the complex realities of chemsex and why traditional safeguarding approaches often miss the mark.


We unpack sexualised drug use, stigma, and why chemsex is so often misunderstood as “too risky” rather than deeply contextual.


Matthew challenges professionals to look honestly at unconscious bias, cultural competency, and the real harm caused when safeguarding frameworks prioritise control over autonomy.


This conversation is about more than drugs or sex. It’s about trust, empowerment, and why dignity is not optional if safety is the goal.

Matthew previously worked as a Care Coordinator & Keyworker for 'Controlling Chemsex', a charity created and run by professionals with a long experience of providing Chemsex support.

Sexual Shame: The Safeguarding Conversation We Avoid

vendredi 30 janvier 2026 • Durée 22:31

Sex education doesn’t fail because young people are immature.

It fails because adults are carrying unprocessed sexual shame.


Sexologist, sex therapist and consent trainer Sian Johnson joins us to unpack why sex education, consent conversations and sexual disclosures are so difficult for adults, not because they’re ‘awkward’, but because they activate shame carried in our bodies, beliefs and nervous systems.


This episode delves into:

  • The difference between healthy shame and toxic sexual shame

  • Why sexual shame can stop people reporting abuse or exploitation

  • Why asking teachers to deliver RSE without proper support is setting them up to fail

  • How shame shows up in classrooms, safeguarding roles and professional responses

This is an honest, nuanced conversation about what adults bring into safeguarding spaces, often unknowingly, and why ignoring that reality puts both professionals and young people at risk.


Because safeguarding is also about what’s happening inside those who hold responsibility.

Sex and Consent: How 'No Means No' Failed a Generation

vendredi 23 janvier 2026 • Durée 24:10

Consent is often taught as simple.

Real life rarely is.


In the first of our series 'Let's Talk About Sex (and Safeguarding)', Chris East is joined by Rupert James Allison, consent workshop facilitator for university students, to unpick what consent actually looks like in the real world.


They touch on why myths from the 1970s still linger, how heteronormative teaching has limited our understanding of consent, and why focusing solely on harm can shut down meaningful learning.


Rupert introduces the Wheel of Consent and a deceptively simple question that can transform sexual experiences and everyday interactions alike:


Who is this for?


From non-verbal communication to the power of asking for a pause, this conversation challenges the idea that consent is a one-off yes or no.


Instead, it invites us to see consent as something we arrive at together.


This episode is essential listening for educators, safeguarding professionals, university staff, and anyone who wants to move beyond box-ticking and towards ethical, respectful, and genuinely mutual sexual experiences.

When Teacher Burnout Goes Unnoticed

vendredi 16 janvier 2026 • Durée 30:34

What happens when a teacher breaks and no one notices?

In this powerful episode, experienced educator Anna Fannon shares the moment she went beyond burnout, and why it changed everything.


From masking in the classroom to hiding in plain sight, Anna describes what it feels like to be physically present at work, but mentally gone.


Together, Anna and Chris confront one of education’s biggest blind spots: why staff wellbeing is still treated as a 'nice to have', while safeguarding and care are reserved almost entirely for students, and what it really costs when adults are expected to keep going, unnoticed.


This conversation digs into:

  • Why cake, cards and wellbeing posters aren’t enough

  • The real cost of constant masking for staff

  • What leaders miss when they don’t ask, “What do you need?”


If you work in education, leadership, safeguarding or pastoral roles, this one is for you.

Australia Social Media Ban: Is the Nuclear Option the Right Fix?

vendredi 9 janvier 2026 • Durée 30:20

Australia has become the first country in the world to ban social media for under-16s.

Some are calling it bold.

Others are calling it overdue.

Young people are calling it life-ruining.


In this episode of Safeguarding Redefined, Chris is joined by online safety specialist Andy Briercliffe to ask the uncomfortable question many aren’t ready to answer yet:

Does banning social media actually make children safer or just push the risks somewhere else?


Together they unpack:

  • Why an outright ban feels appealing but may miss the real problem
  • The uncomfortable reality of image sharing, sexting, and peer pressure
  • Whether regulation, education, and culture change are being sidelined in favour of headlines


This isn’t a neat debate with a tidy solution.

It’s an honest, experience-led conversation about uncertainty, unintended consequences, and why safeguarding rarely works when we reach for the nuclear option.


If you work with children, lead safeguarding, or are parenting through the digital minefield, this episode will challenge your assumptions and sharpen your questions.

Rewind: Suicide Postvention: Navigating Loss with Caroline Roodhouse

vendredi 2 janvier 2026 • Durée 39:34

⚠️ Content warning: This episode discusses suicide and bereavement.


What do you say to someone who has lost a loved one to suicide?


How can we actually support them, not just in the moment but in the months and years that follow?


In 2018, Caroline’s husband of 18 years took his own life without warning, leaving behind their two young children.


Caroline’s journey following this tragedy led her to combine her lived experience with her professional skills and expertise to become a Strategic Communications and Wellbeing Specialist, mentor, and a public speaker where she shares her story of grief and loss to give a voice to those impacted by suicide.


She has also written the best-selling book, ‘Daddy Blackbird: the true story of a family surviving and thriving after loss by suicide'.

 

The complex trauma resulting from Steve’s sudden suicide has defined Caroline’s mission to support and empower others who have faced a similar tragedy, helping them to manage their grief, navigate their complex emotions, prioritise their own wellbeing, articulate their own story and ultimately find hope again.

You’re Not Alone.


DSLs carry enormous responsibility - but who supports them?


Victoria Morris, with 20 years in education and 10 as a DSL, joins us to talk about the power of supervision.

Who Holds the Risk When Safeguarding Goes Wrong?

vendredi 19 décembre 2025 • Durée 16:32

Trustees and governors hold ultimate responsibility for safeguarding.
So why do so many feel under-equipped and uncertain when it comes to asking the right questions?


In this episode, the Safeguarding Collective strip back the myths around governance, DSL capacity, and DBS checks.


They explore what boards actually need to know, where organisations unintentionally set people up to fail, and why 'being a volunteer' is not a reason to lower safeguarding standards.
