Exploitation and Vulnerability
Safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults is everybody’s responsibility. This 2 hour free, briefing session will give you an insight into Exploitation and Vulnerability in Shropshire – we must raise awareness. It contains vital information for anyone who has responsibility for children or young people (ie parent, grandparent, guardian or carer etc). It will provide an understanding of the realties in our County in terms of:
- Child sexual exploitation (CSE)
- Child criminal exploitation (CCE)
- Organised crime groups/gangs
- Modern day slavery
There are three free sessions to choose from (they are all the same):

The sessions are being delivered by West Mercia Police Trainers and are open to anyone (members and non-members).
