Child Sexual Exploitation and Substance Use
This training begins by exploring the term ‘Child Sexual Exploitation’ (CSE) and seeks to untangle the meaning. The extent of CSE is discussed with reference to recent reports, and delegates are provided with information on research about the subject. The legal situation, including guidance and child protection issues are explored. The training then invites delegates to examine the risk factors for vulnerable young people, the models of CSE, with materials examining the experience from the child’s perspective. The context of CSE is examined and the links between substance use are made, with an examination of the issues involved in treatment for young people. The training concludes with a review of resources available to work with young people possibility at risk of CSE.
This course is suitable for all professionals working with young people, particularly those deemed to be vulnerable. It is suitable for professionals such as teachers and those working within YOT’s, Pupil Referral Units and Substance Misuse Agencies and particularly relevant to those working with looked after children.
