With a strong emphasis on multi-agency working and information sharing, this course is designed to create greater awareness of child exploitation. The course is delivered by the Willow Team across the Pan Hampshire Area. Whilst it builds upon national issues, this course focuses on what is happening in Hampshire. The course explores issues that children in our county face and enables delegates to detect and respond to the risks.

-Enable front-line professionals to recognise the signs and symptoms of child exploitation and to refer their concerns in line with agreed local processes
-Explain categories of risk including use of local assessment tools
