Child Sexual ExploitationBriefing
Concerns Network Meeting Operation Striver
Revised April 2015
DfE CSE Action Plan - definition
…...is long, but in summary it
“involves children and young people receiving something – for example, accommodation, drugs, gifts or affection – as a result of them performing sexual activities, or having others perform sexual activities on them. It can occur without physical contact, when children are groomed to post sexual images of themselves on the internet.”
(Govt. Action Plan Pg 4)
Remember: there are also links between runaways (children that go missing) and child sexual exploitation.
