Child sexual exploitation has gained interest in the media through high profile investigations across the UK, however, research suggests there is limited understanding of the process by which young people are drawn into exploitative relationships and the traumatic impact of these. This event seeks to explore the issues around sexual exploitation as a particular form of child sexual abuse.

Learning Outcomes

This training will support participants to:-

• Gain a clear understanding of what is meant by child sexual exploitation
• Explore grooming and its role in facilitating sexual exploitation
• Consider our personal judgements which may arise in working with people who have experienced sexual exploitation
• Identify ways to work with shame and guilt experienced by people who have been exploited sexually from a trauma informed perspective.
