CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION (CSE) SCOPING EXERCISE QUESTIONNAIRE
Sexual exploitation of children and young people is child abuse andtackling child sexual exploitation is one of the most important current challenges for the LSCB. It is the responsibility of all partner agencies to identify all children and young people at risk of exploitation, in order to prevent them from becoming victims, and it is the responsibility of all partner agencies to protect and safeguard all children and young people who are experiencing exploitation from further harm. In order to meet this challenge, a shared understanding of the problem and a shared responsibility to proactively address all areas of sexual exploitation is required. This will be achieved by efficient working partnerships between agencies with active coordination by the LSCB, in recognition that the most effective way to tackle this form of child abuse is via a committed coordinated multi-agency approach, in partnership with children, young people, families and communities.
