Child Sexual Exploitation, Missing and Trafficking Operational Group

Last month a new Child Sexual Exploitation, Missing and Trafficking Operational Group was established.  The aim of this group is to understand our local profile of children being sexually exploited, going missing or being trafficked.  The multi-agency group is open to other professionals/agencies to share up to date information about children at risk or emerging issues in particular areas. 

Informed by intelligence from professionals and the public this multi-agency group will identify issues and commit resources to ensure interception occurs.  Key to this is intelligence from professionals.  We have launched a new CSE Sharing Information Form.  We invite you to bookmark the link to this form, and populate it with intelligence that you have gained on the strands of CSE & Missing Children.  Please share this communication with colleagues.  Only by capturing this intelligence will we be able to pursue investigations.  Complex cases can also be referred to this group.  For more information contact John Coleman, Service Manager, DI Nigel Jones, or Ramandeep Sandhu, CSE Team Manager.

A lot of intelligence is gained from Return Home Interviews completed by the Missing Children’s Practitioners (MCP’s).  Recently we have been able to increase the number of MCP’s who work to engage young people, understand the push & pull factors that led to the missing episode and for those with frequent missing episodes they will complete direct work with young people.
