Child Exploitation Training – Responding to extra-familial harm
Informed by over 20 years of experience supporting affected families, our course will provide you with a clear understanding about child sexual and criminal exploitation. All children can be at risk of being exploited and to keep our communities and children safe, we have to understand how offenders behave and how this behaviour impacts victims and their families.
Learning objectives
- Understand typologies of CSE and CCE
- Define and understand child sexual exploitation (CSE); child criminal exploitation (CCE) and grooming
- Learn about the National Referral Mechanism and Modern Slavery Act
- Understand the Contextual Safeguarding Approach
- Learn about Trauma Informed Practice
- Understand what victim blaming is and how to challenge it
- Understand the work of Ivison Trust and the Relational Safeguarding Model
“I felt this training was a breath of fresh air from people with decades of knowledge and experience and clearly co-produced with those who have lived experience. It certainly was not death by PowerPoint and the interactive activities felt organic rather than forced. Even as a relatively experienced safeguarding professional seeking refresher training, I left learning new things.”
