Overview

Following on from Child Sexual Exploitation (Level 1), this Level 2 course expands the topic and gives you the confidence to assess, intervene and fulfil your responsibilities for safeguarding children. You'll look at the legislation in place to deal with CSE and develop an awareness of support available to victims.

If you work with children, it's essential that you have a clear understanding of issues directly relating to child sexual exploitation (CSE). In this three-module course you will deepen your knowledge and understanding of the law, the victims, assessment and intervention strategies, and the risks and responsibilities we all share. Together we will help shape a safer future for the young people in our community

The course contains additional resource materials, useful links and refresher guides.
