What to do if you suspect a child is being sexually exploited (DfE)

Child sexual exploitation is a form of abuse which involves children (male and female, of different ethnic origins and of different ages) receiving something in exchange for sexual activity. Perpetrators of sexual exploitation are found in all parts of the country and are not restricted to particular ethnic groups.

The Department for Education (DfE) have published a guide called 'What to do if you suspect a child is being sexually exploited: A step-by-step guide for frontline practitioners'. Please visit the DfE website for a copy.
