Social business Catch22 has been at the forefront of work to support young victims of both sexual and criminal exploitation in Merseyside.

However, it was Catch22's evidence gathering of child criminal exploitation (CCE) that led to the service being expanded further by the region's police and crime commissioner (PCC).
