Warwickshire Child Sexual Exploitation Training

In February 2017 the UK Government and National Crime Agency upgraded Child Sexual Exploitation to National Threat level.

Warwickshire Child Sexual Exploitation Team wants to support all education providers to have the knowledge and confidence to identify the signs of CSE and respond appropriately if they have concerns about a child or situation.

We deliver FREE half & full day multi-agency training with the Warwickshire Safeguarding Children Board for all professionals in Warwickshire and you can access the training via the WILMa website: www.warwickshire.gov.uk/wilma

For dates and more information please see this flyer.

We understand that it can be problematic for schools to release staff for multi-agency training and are therefore also offering FREE CSE Awareness Sessions for all Warwickshire education providers. We can deliver directly at your school or premises and offer a number of options to suit your needs.

Please contact Kate Shipley on kate.shipley@barnardos.org.uk or 07702 338667 for any queries.
