Girls, Gangs and Exploitation 

With Rising Concerns About The Cost Of Living Crisis Linked To The Exploitation Of Young People By Gangs And County Lines, This Workshop Specifically Explores The Experiences Of Girls And Young Women Whose Needs Can Be Overlooked.

Drawing on best practice and up-to-date research from around the world, this training aims to provide multi-agency practitioners, community representatives & carers with the skills, knowledge and confidence to recognise and initially respond to girls and young women at risk from gangs, county lines and criminal exploitation

Using learning from the Serious Case Review for Rotherham, we will consider how much has changed and the legislation intended to safeguard children from Child Sexual Exploitation and Child Criminal Exploitation, Trafficking and Modern Slavery.

This is an event that you do not want to miss!
