Child Exploitation:
Child Exploitation Disruption Toolkit
This toolkit has been developed to support frontline practitioners to safeguard children and young people under the age of 18 from sexual and criminal exploitation. This includes social workers, police officers, housing officers, education staff, healthcare staff, charity staff, and others.
Multi-Agency Practice Principles for Responding to Child Exploitation & Extra-familiar Harm
The Principles are designed to be broad and flexible enough to support effective partnership
working across different local contexts, while providing a common language and framework
to better respond to child exploitation and extra-familial harm. They aim to guide, but not
prescribe, how local partnerships and individual agencies or professionals might usefully shape
their approach, i.e. the Practice Principles are intended as a compass, rather than a map.
Appropriate Language in Relation to Child Exploitation
When talking about children and exploitation, language matters. It can be the difference between a child being properly safeguarded or put at further risk of exploitation. This document seeks to provide guidance to professionals on the appropriate use of language when discussing children and their experience of exploitation in a range of contexts.
Capturing & Reporting Intelligence Toolkit
This toolkit can be used by families, professionals and community members to help understand what intelligence is and how it can be reported to assist the police to prevent, investigate and disrupt crime.

Child Sexual Exploitation & How to Keep Your Child Safe
Finding out a child has been sexually exploited can be distressing and you might not know what to do next. Young people often trust their abuser and don’t know that what’s happening is wrong or are unable to tell anyone due to fear, intimidation and violence. The NSPCC have advice to help you keep children and young people safe from sexual exploitation.

Criminal Exploitation of children and vulnerable adults: County Lines guidance
Criminal exploitation of children and vulnerable adults is a geographically widespread form of harm that is a typical feature of county lines activity. It is a harm which is relatively little known about or recognised by those best placed to spot its potential victims. This guidance is intended to explain the nature of this harm to enable practitioners to recognise its signs and respond appropriately so that potential victims get the support and help they need.
Children and Young People Trafficked for the Purpose of Criminal Exploitation in Relation to County Lines – A Toolkit for Professionals
The term county lines is becoming widely recognised and used to describe situations where children or young people may be internally trafficked for the purpose of criminal exploitation. What is often less understood are the experiences a child or young person faces, and the potential for them to be
harmed through various forms of abuse and exploitation as a result. This toolkit hopes to address some gaps in knowledge and offer suggestions for supporting young people who are being, or at risk of being, trafficked for the purpose of criminal exploitation.
