Child Criminal Exploitation Training

“County Lines” is in the news again this week, described as an “epidemic in child criminal exploitation”. This is undoubtedly a hot topic and one which is of great concern for any of us working with vulnerable young people.

Do your teams need more information about Child Criminal Exploitation?

recent article in The Guardian stresses the importance of understanding “how technology and social media is being used to coerce, control, blackmail and track the movements of children as young as 11.”

This topic is complex. It includes grooming, child sexual exploitation and gang culture. It demands that we take our understanding of online and social media safety to a whole new level if we are to support current victims and prevent future recruitment.

We have therefore developed a thorough face-to-face course to meet these needs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1554206066273{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Empowering Safety: Bespoke Safeguarding & Child Protection Training

Why Choose Bespoke Training?

Generic training can leave staff feeling unprepared for the real-life scenarios they face. Our tailored approach ensures the content, delivery method, and case studies are directly relevant to your sector (e.g., education, healthcare, sport, charity, corporate), your local policies, and the specific vulnerabilities and risks present in your community.

Our Specialised Training Pillars

We design engaging, practical, and compliant training across three core areas:

  • For Professionals Working with Children (Child Protection): Focuses on recognising the signs of abuse and neglect, statutory guidance (e.g., Working Together to Safeguard Children), robust reporting procedures, and the creation of a safe, child-focused culture.
  • For Professionals Working with Adults (Adult Safeguarding): Focuses on the principles of the Care Act, understanding different types of harm, promoting wellbeing, Mental Capacity Act (MCA) considerations, and ensuring person-led safeguarding responses.
  • Blended Cohorts (Safeguarding for All Ages): Ideal for organisations whose staff or volunteers interact with both children and adults (e.g., community centres, housing associations, religious organisations). This training highlights the common principles of good practice while clearly delineating the different legal frameworks, signs of harm, and reporting routes for each demographic.

Invest in training that transforms knowledge into action. Equip your team with the confidence and competence to protect those in your care proactively.
