Leeds has seen a decline in referrals for Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE). We know, however, that CSE hasn’t gone away. The police, Social Care and specialist services such as Basis rely on frontline professionals to identify those at risk of CSE and to raise their concerns appropriately. This session will explore the current picture of CSE, the trends and risk factors that practitioners need to be aware of in order to keep children and young people safe, and will provide guidance on what steps to take to raise concerns.
This training session is being offered in line with our LSCP Annual Priorities.
The session is suitable for all practitioners working with children, young people and their families.
