Resonant Collaboration is convening a one-day learning event on support and safeguarding with young people (teens to mid-twenties) who are leaving, losing, or changing faith. This includes those trying to exit high-control religious contexts, where leaving can mean losing family, housing and community.

The day brings together youth-led research from Birmingham, safeguarding and education practitioners, faith and community leaders, and specialist organisations to explore what helps and harms, and what joined-up support can look like across settings, including for young people once they reach the age of 18.

Participating contributors include:

• Young community researchers from Birmingham's Volunteering for Health.

• Canon Dr Andrew Smith, Director of Interfaith Relations for the Bishop of Birmingham.

• Razia Butt, Director of Thriving Families, Birmingham City Council

• Luke Billingham, youth worker and researcher, Hackney Quest and Open University.

• Global Centre for Contextual Safeguarding, University of Durham.

• Humanists UK: Faith to Faithless, and more specialist contributors to be confirmed.

Refreshments and lunch provided.
