University of Bedfordshire Publish Research on Safeguarding Children and Young People from Sexual Exploitation
The University of Bedfordshire have published a report entitled ‘What’s Going on?’ into safeguarding children and young people from sexual exploitation.
The two-year study, by researchers Professor Sue Jago and Jenny Pearce, was based on questionnaires and interviews with 100 LSCBs across the country and found that just over a third (38) of respondents had a sub-group in place to examine the issue of child exploitation and a specialist project providing services for young people.
Their report makes 11 recommendations, including a call to carry out a review of the court processes for child sexual exploitation, training on child sexual exploitation for LSCB chairs and directors of children’s services, plus additional guidance for all child care professionals.
BASW have established a specialist group looking at child sexual exploitation.
