Use the space provided to risk rate the young person based on the different factors in each box. This is not an exhaustive list and professionals should use the additional spaces to record any additional information. There are a number of warning signs that can indicate a child may be being groomed for sexual exploitation and behaviours that can indicate that a child is being sexually exploited. To assist you in remembering and assessing these signs and behaviours we have created the mnemonic ‘SAFEGUARD’.
