'disagree' is the definition.
(contradicting is a kind of disagreeing)

'policeman blocking agreement' is the wordplay.
'policeman' becomes 'di' (I've seen this in other clues).
'blocking' indicates putting letters inside.
'agreement' becomes 'contract' (contract is a kind of agreement).
'di' inserted inside 'contract' is 'CONTRADICT'.

'with senior' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for contradict that I've seen before include "Deny" , "Disagree" , "dispute" , "Gainsay" , "Be in conflict with" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
