Understanding Child Sexual Exploitation

This is an introductory course for all staff and volunteers working directly with children in schools. This course will explain what child sexual exploitation is and some of the ways in which children may be exploited. We will think about why some children may be more vulnerable to child sexual exploitation and consider the signs and symptoms you may notice if a child is being sexually exploited. We will learn about the responsibilities of school and college staff in relation to child sexual exploitation and talk about what you should do if you think a child is suffering, or is at risk of suffering, this type of abuse.
