1 Child Sexual Exploitation Local Picture and Your Responsibility 2015

2 So what is CSE??? Someone taking advantage of you sexually, for their own benefit. Through threats, bribes, violence, humiliation or by saying they love you, they will have the power to get you to do sexual things for their own, or others benefit or enjoyment (including touching or kissing private parts, sex, taking sexual photos). Young Women s Group & The Children s Society, 2008.

3 CSE in 2015 Offenders will use different ways to groom children into sending them indecent images of themselves, by using social media e.g. Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram etc to get what they want. Sometimes it s the people we trust who take advantage of us.

4 Safeguarding If you were to come across an incident when CSE was suspected, you have an obligation to follow your normal safeguarding procedures. Consult your Designated Lead and they will advise on the best form of action.

5 What is sexting??? A sext doesn t have to be an indecent photograph of a young person. It could also be a sexual text message, voice message, or even video. An indecent photo of a young person doesn t have to be fully nude, it can be partially nude also.

6 Consequences It could go viral around school. It could even go world wide. Legal action could potentially be taken against a person and the police could get involved.

7 Consequences

8 Local Picture SEAM Process 59 young people open to SEAM 11% of young people at risk have also been MFH Multiple methods of coercion used by perpetrators to groom young people Only 2.4% of referrals submitted originated from schools Increase in the number of prosecutions for CSE related offences Due to small pieces of intelligence coming in we can now identify CSE hotspots and target offenders

12 Don t be scared of messing up No serious case review has ever held an agency to account for sharing information, however they have done so when agencies haven't shared information. Agencies are there for a reason, don t be frightened of asking for help, information or guidance.
