ESRC Social Science Festival: Exploring the impact of and responses to child sexual exploitation

The University of Salford is delighted to host this interactive event which aims to recognise the collaborative engagement of young people (11 upwards) and practitioners across Greater Manchester in responding to the threat of child sexual exploitation.

We are honoured to have Ann Coffey MP to open this event as her research in engaging young peoples' 'Real Voices' has been foundational in cultivating a range of interventions and developmental projects across our region. This event wants to celebrate the work that has been produced and in particular the contribution made by young people.

Our event will begin with a film produced by GW Theatre which explores the complexity of child sexual exploitation. This will be followed by a festival of activity where young people and practitioners will be able to share and learn from the multiple projects they are currently involved with from the Univeristy. These include the development of a psycho-social engagement model for NHS England and the Greater Manchester Police led CTZN digital platform.

Refreshments will be provided.
