County Lines is a form of criminal exploitation in which illegal drugs are transported from one area to another by children or adults at risk and is connected to serious organised crime gangs. Over 27,000 children are involved in County Lines in the United Kingdom (UK). In the year 2022, police shut down over 1000 County Lines, however, many are still operating throughout the UK. County Lines affects all communities, and anyone can be coerced into being involved. Therefore, it is important to be aware of County Lines and know how to identify if someone is being exploited.
In this course, you will learn what County Lines are and how they operate, as well as the signs associated with them. You will learn how to identify and safeguard those at risk of being exploited and how to support individuals that have been affected. You will also learn how to respond to County Lines, including concerns and disclosures, as well as the importance of early intervention and prevention. The course will also teach you about the impact that County Lines can have on an individual, their family and their community and what support is available.
