CHILD EXPLOITATION Resources & Signposting
Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) & Child Criminal Expoloitation (CCE) pose major child protection issues across the UK. Often hidden from view and going unnoticed, vulnerable young people are groomed and then abused or coerced into commiting crimes, leaving them traumatised and scarred for life. Though perceptions are altering these young people are still often perceived as having 'made a choice' to take part in illegal activites.
All schools in Birmingham wanting further advice/support regarding CSE concerns can contact thier local CSE Coordinator (Lynette Reid - East | Rachael Hopkinson - North & West | Katie Storer-Young - South) or call the Birmingham Children's Trust, CSE Duty Line - 0121 464 7967 (Line open: Mon-Thu 09:00 – 17:00; Fri 09:00 – 16:00).
