A new online guide has been developed as a ‘roadmap’ to support the ongoing #CEtheSigns of child exploitation campaign. The resources have been designed to help us all to work together to protect children from harm and stop this abuse from happening in the first place. The roadmap has been produced for professionals who have concerns about child exploitation and the aim is to provide information on thresholds and pathways and to signpost to local support for children and their families. In today’s podcast we hear from the people behind the roadmap and talk about what might be useful for parents to know about the roadmap and support available to families.
