The Background

 

 

The sexual exploitation of children and young people is a form of sexual abuse. It is not new. What is new is the level of awareness of the extent and scale of the abuse and of the increasingly different ways in which perpetrators sexually exploit children and young people.  Professor Alexis Jay’s enquiry into historical child sexual exploitation in Rotherham identified failures on the part of care professionals and those working in the criminal justice system to recognise that some children and young people were at risk or victims of child sexual exploitation. (estimate of 1,400 children).

 

 

 

Child sexual exploitation is one of the most challenging safeguarding issues faced by society today.  It effects boys and girls from all communities and is perpetrated by adults, both male and female, from all communities.  Experience tells us that it is only by parents, professionals and communities working together and by good front-line practice that such abuse can be most successfully tackled.

 

 

 

Child sexual exploitation can have a devastating impact on the social integration, economic well-being and life chances of young people.  Difficulties faced by victims of child sexual exploitation include isolation from family and friends, teenage parenthood, failing examinations or dropping out of education altogether, unemployment, mental health problems, suicide attempts, alcohol and drug addiction, aggressive behaviour and criminal activity.  Child sexual exploitation can also have a profoundly damaging effect on families and communities

Prevention and Protection is strengthened by early identification of those children and young people at risk of, or involved in, child sexual exploitation, leading to safeguarding measures that protect them from those that seek to abuse.   It requires the full commitment of statutory agencies, the voluntary sector and wider communities to make child sexual exploitation everyone’s business.
