Who should take this course?

This course is suitable for anyone who works with children, young people and/or families. Everyone who works with young people – whether full-time, part-time or on a voluntary basis - has a responsibility to keep them safe from harm. This includes being aware of CSE and CCE issues and understanding how to respond appropriately.

Child sexual exploitation and child criminal exploitation awareness training is essential for those with safeguarding responsibilities, including police officers, social workers, teachers, housing officers, youth service workers, residential workers, and foster carers.

If you have not taken child protection training before then we'd recommend taking our Introduction to Safeguarding Children course in addition to this Child Sexual Exploitation and Child Criminal Exploitation Awareness training.
