“Protecting children from exploitation is, and always will be, a priority for this authority. As the forms of exploitation evolve, so our response and preventative work change too and the newly commissioned service will provide a layered approach to support children and their families, which will aim to intervene and improve situations at an early stage.”
Mark Sutton, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People. |
