This course provides information on dealing with both Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) and Adult Sexual Exploitation (ASE). Aimed at those who work with vulnerable individuals, it includes guidance on grooming, trafficking, consent and reporting.

Individuals and professionals who need to understand how to safeguard vulnerable children, young people and adults who are at risk of being sexually exploited will benefit greatly from this training. 

The aim of these modules is to give learners an awareness of what sexual exploitation is and how to identify it whilst also describing the best practice of how to safeguard those who are at risk.

  • How to report instances of ASE and CSE. 

The course also includes infographics, interactive scenarios and challenges to engage learners whilst giving them the ability to check their knowledge as the course proceeds.
