Description

Aims of the support service for victims of CSE are split into two main areas of focus:

• Prevention - Raise the level of professional and public awareness of the
negative effects of sexual exploitation and the role that communities can play in helping
tackle this issue.

• Young people who are victims of CSE, - the service will provide in depth,
long term therapeutic care and counselling, along with helping to identify suitable
accommodation where necessary and help to manage pre and post court challenges in
cases where it is required. The Service will need to be delivered to young people
predominantly aged 12 to 18 years old, where there is evidence to suggest exploitation
and where it is assessed that positive outcome will be achievable through this
intervention.

For all young people (at whatever level of the continuum of need) risk management
strategies need to be agreed and included in the plan for the young person. In all
cases, workers will help to build resilience in families so that they can meet the needs
of their children appropriately.
