Learning Exchange: Disrupting Exploitation Multi-Agency Learning Session
Outline
The Wakefield Children’s Safeguarding Partnership (WCSP) and The Children’ Society Prevention Programme are working together to improve knowledge and approaches to disrupting exploitation across Wakefield. WCSP are hosting this online interactive learning session led by the Prevention Programme.
To break the cycle of exploitation and abuse we need to target those ultimately responsible. By using creative approaches and making the most of the available legislation, we can ensure perpetrators receive appropriate sentences for their crimes while helping prevent them from targeting children and young people in the future.
If you work with children and young adults (0-25 years) who are experiencing or at risk of exploitation and abuse, then you have a crucial role to play in disrupting their exploitation and stopping the perpetrators who are ultimately responsible. It is only by everyone playing their part in disruption that we will be able to keep all children and young adults safe while targeting those who cynically profit from their abuse.
Audience
This course is open to anyone who works or volunteers with children and young people (aged 0-25 years).
