Child Exploitation Disruption Toolkit
This is a comprehensive toolkit developed by the Home Office and is designed for practitioners working in safeguarding roles. It relates to criminal and sexual exploitation.
The aims of the toolkit are:
- Set out many of the tools useful for police and other safeguarding professionals to disrupt the sexual and criminal exploitation of children and young people, break the cycle of abuse and send a signal to perpetrators about the consequences of their actions.
- Help safeguarding partners know how their knowledge, expertise and information sharing could contribute to the protection of victims, evidence for further action, arrest and potential prosecution of offenders.
- Provide useful guidance about technological options available to support interventions.
Our understanding of child exploitation is increasing and it is important for those working with children to remain aware of the new information and knowledge available to us as practitioners.
