CSE Process
What to do if you suspect that a child is a victim of or at risk of sexual exploitation?• Professionals working with children need to be aware
of the indicators of sexual exploitation.• Note any changes in behavior that suggests the
child/ young person may be involved in or at risk of involvement in sexual exploitation.
• In the early stages take note of children who may show indicators of being groomed.
CSE Process
• Be aware of children in sexual relationships that present as consensual but which may be exploitative.
• Professionals must share information with others in the child’s network.
• It is often only when all information is available that a true picture comes to light.
• In some cases the sharing of information may highlight other children who may also be at risk.
