Please see the attached programme of learning opportunity provided by the Children’s Society.
This programme is in partnership with look closer campaign which includes the following partner agencies.
The Children's Society, the National County Lines Co-ordination Centre and the British Transport Police aiming to raise awareness of child exploitation and abuse and to encourage the public and businesses to better identify and report concerns. The campaign also seeks to challenge assumptions and victim stereotypes, highlighting that child exploitation can happen anywhere, and any young person can be a victim.
There will be a focus week beginning 27th February 23, the main focus will be on child exploitation and the role the partner agencies can play is to identifying young victims ensuring they are supported and safeguarded especially when transitioning into adulthood.
There are some good opportunities for learning around tackling child Exploitation. Please share amongst your staff and colleagues.
