National exploitation initiative seeks local learning partners

1 min read Social Care
Multi-agency safeguarding partnerships can apply for a new support programme offered by the consortium set up to run the government's national child exploitation unit.

The Tackling Child Exploitation support programme is accepting applications from local areas to adopt its Bespoke Support projects which help improve strategic responses to exploitation and extra-familial harm.

The programme has been designed to cover child sexual exploitation and child criminal exploitation, including county lines drug trafficking.

The consortium, led by Research in Practice together with The Children's Society and the University of Bedfordshire, said these small-scale projects had been developed to "accelerate and add value" to local areas' existing practice, creating opportunities for them to "think and learn collaboratively".

It said project leads and delivery partners from the consortium would work with local areas to co-design a plan for each project which would then be published to promote cross-sector learning.
