Exploitation of Children & Young People ( Day 1)

Location:Brighton & Hove
Type:Multi Agency Training
Dates:
Duration:Full Day

Why is the LSCB providing this course?

Day One of our two training courses on exploitation looks at different ways that children & young people may be exploited by those who have power over them by virtue of their age, gender, intellect, physical strength and/or economic or other resources. Violence, coercion and intimidation commonly occur in exploitation, and these situations are often characterised by the child or young person’s limited availability of choice resulting from their social/economic and/or emotional vulnerability

 

This course is facilitated by The Wise Project, and there will be a focus on all potential forms of exploitation including Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE), how to identify these forms of abuse, and how to disrupt the exploitation. You will also look at the emerging threat of Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE) and County Lines activity, as well as considering what may make a young person vulnerable to exploitation into radicalisation. These  different forms of exploitation can be linked, and you will be encouraged to think about the wider experiences of the child, including the nuances behind a vulnerable children being both potential  perpetrators of crimes and victims of exploitation.
