Cover of Safe and Well.

'Safe and well?' highlights good practice in working with looked-after young people who run away. It has been produced with the support of The Children's Society, which is at the forefront of campaigning, research and service provision for young runaways.

'Safe and well?' aims to build on skills and practice within the sector by identifying innovative and empowering models of working with young people to reduce the number of incidences of running away.

The guide identifies the legislation and some of the messages from research that inform and shape practice in this field. It looks at the roles of different professionals and ways that multi-agency working can improve outcomes for children at risk of running away.

By examining the chronology of events leading to a young person repeatedly running away, the guide looks at how carers can support young people and provide a service that equips them with the skills and knowledge they need to make positive choices in their lives. As featured in The Guardian.
