Chris And The Shield with Chris Hargreaves
-

By:
Chris Hargreaves is the founder of The Shield, a national safeguarding movement built on one principle: the people protecting the people. A survivor of child abuse, Chris spent years healing — including time living with shamans in the Amazon — gaining deep insight into trauma, community, and human behaviour.
He created The Shield to offer what he never had: real protection, real support, and real people who care.
Today, The Shield is a fast-growing national network with specialist teams tackling abuse, supporting vulnerable people, and restoring community responsibility.
Chris talks about:Chris talks about how his own journey as a survivor led to the creation of The Shield, why safeguarding systems are failing, and how communities can reclaim their power to protect vulnerable people. He explains the four core Shield teams — Vanguard, Community Presence, Trusted Guardians and Safeguarding — and how they work together to investigate abuse, support those at risk, and rebuild real community responsibility. Chris also shares how men can step forward as protectors and his vision for the future, including safe houses, safe businesses, and a nationwide network of people protecting people.
