Victims to help develop £2.1m national child exploitation programme

1 min read Social Care Youth Work
Victims of child exploitation are to help develop a national programme to tackle the issue through a multi-agency approach involving youth workers and social workers, it has been announced.

The three-year £2.1m project, which is led by The Children's Society, will see multi-disciplinary teams established in Greater Manchester, London and the West Midlands, to support young people who are being exploited and enhance efforts to disrupt those who exploit children.

The design and delivery of the Big Lottery Fund-supported programme will be informed by the views of young people who have been exploited in the past. Work is due to begin next month.

Dara de Burca, director for children and young people at the charity: "This programme will explore and respond to a range of exploitation where we hope to join-up gaps and support young people, but also to go further and make tangible improvements to how child exploitation is dealt with or prevented in the future."
