CSE Myth Busting Webinar

March 18th is NWG National Exploitation Awareness Day and to support this work, NWG are delivering a 1 hour introductory webinar to raise an awareness of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE). This session is designed to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to recognise and respond to signs of CSE, ultimately helping to make communities safer. This is a valuable opportunity for anyone wanting to learn more about CSE and how to contribute to safeguarding children in their communities.

The session will cover:

Common myths about CSE
What CSE is
How children are targeted and groomed for the purposes of CSE
Signs that might indicate a child is at risk, being groomed or is a victim of CSE
Where to go if you are worried a child is being groomed
What is human trafficking
What is the National Referral Mechanism (NRM)
Useful resources and videos on the NWG website

The target audience for the webinar is likely to be helpful for those supporting children / young people who have been exploited or are at risk of exploitation, for those who wish to develop their understanding of neurodiverse presentations and to consider strategies which may support them.
