Child Criminal Exploitation
This course is designed for staff supervising children in residential placements and supported accommodation, as well as child protection teams, multi-agency partnership agencies, police and other law enforcement colleagues working alongside them. The focus is on noticing something isn’t right and acting on it.
The Course
Delivered across two comprehensive sessions, this course equips professional learners with the tools to tackle child criminal exploitation under the framework of the Crime and Policing Act 2026. The first session lays the essential foundations, explaining the current legal landscape and detailing exactly what indicators to look for. The second session carries the heaviest weight of the course, focusing deeply on response strategies and statutory duties. It brings participants firmly back to the perspective of the child while mapping out the explicit, individual responsibilities of the professional learner in daily practice.
