Children and young people are especially vulnerable to
exploitation and abuse, much of which goes undetected.
New legislation has been brought in to deal more effectively
with sexual offences against children and adults.The
trafficking of children and young people, their entrapment
into prostitution and pornography, sexual abuse within
families and institutions, the abuse of trust by adults in
power: all are now covered in law.This course looks at how
professionals can work closely to identify children at risk, as
well as build relationships which encourage young people
to seek help and offer options which they can accept.
Learning outcomes cover:
- Familiarisation with the range of sexual offences covered
by the legislation and the relevant guidance within
Working Together 2006 and from the Bichard Inquiry.
- Understanding of the concept of consent as applied
within the Act and the requirements for when to share
confidential information.
- Awareness of the boundaries within professional and
client relationships.
- Recognition of the complexities of dealing with children
and young people who are trafficked and/or entrapped
into prostitution and the relevant guidance.
- Awareness of the Act as it applies to children and young
people with sexually harmful behaviours.
