Description

CHILD SEX EXPLOITATION PREVENTION SERVICE

The Service required is the delivery of a prevention and reduction service for those children assessed as being at risk of sexual exploitation. The provider will be a proactive strategic and operational partner and shall undertake actions such as sharing data, intelligence and good practice in relation to child sexual exploitation and missing children. The service will also provide independent return interviews for all children reported as missing.
