Child Sexual exploitation is a crime that can affect any child, anytime, anywhere - regardless of their social or ethnic background.

PACE (Parents Against Sexual Exploitation), in partnership with Virtual College, has launched an interactive online package for parents on the signs of child sexual exploitation. The free tool is designed to equip parents with the information and knowledge to safeguard children from this abuse.

Vision Trust

If you have any concerns that a child you know may be a victim of child sexual exploitation report it to your local police on 101.

Alternatively you can report it to Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555 111 or visit www.crimestoppers-uk.org

In an emergency or if a crime is ongoing always dial 999.
