The next generation of teachers is being brought up to think that protecting children is actively harmful.

It certainly can be. How do you think we ended up with a generation so sheltered they need trigger warnings on pictures of fruit?

There's a difference from not letting children take bicycles off sweet jumps, and adults fucking 8 year-olds because it's perfectly fine if it's not done with abusive intent.

Safeguarding (or child protection) isn’t about wrapping children or vulnerable adults (generally adults with severe learning deficiencies or dementia etc) in cottonwool, it’s about spotting the signs that they’re being abused (neglected, physically abused or sexually abused) and then knowing what steps to take next.

The critical social justice crowd have co-opted the language of safeguarding, and apply the principles in wholly inappropriate ways (treating adult women as you would children with no agency is a classic example).

I believe the real damage done to the millennial generation was done by the combination of the focus on self-esteem/confidence in schools and helicopter parenting, creating a generation of entitled and helpless adults. Jonathan Haidt has written a lot about that.

The classic example is the video from Yale of the professor being screeched at by students demanding that college be a safe space like their homes (with regards to the ideas they were exposed to, they were very upset that the college authorities were not going to police Halloween costumes for cultural sensitivity)
