Young people who question, leave or change faith can face harms, such as family rejection, shunning, coercive control, conversion practices, homelessness and profound disruption to belonging. Young people of faith can find themselves navigating different but equally significant harms rooted in stereotypes, bias and racism.

National safeguarding guidance makes little mention of these harms.

Speakers and contributors
