Tackling Child Exploitation: Part 1 Prevent and Prepare Level 3

This is our new two part course which considers child sexual exploitation, child criminal exploitation and county lines. We would strongly recommend that you attend both Part 1 and Part 2 to gain a full understanding of child exploitation and how to work with and support children and young people at risk of any type of exploitation. The events are for all practitioners who work directly with children and young people who may be at risk. Attending both events will provide guidance on how to recognise and respond appropriately to child exploitation, consider the grooming process, and have an understanding of the policies and procedures for tackling child exploitation including advise on how to use the new child exploitation risk assessment tool.
