Children’s Society: Disrupting Exploitation

To break the cycle of exploitation and abuse we need to target those ultimately response. By using creative approaches and making the most of the available legislation, we can ensure perpetrators receive appropriate sentences for their crimes while helping prevent them from targeting children and young people in the future.

If you work with children and young adults (0-25 years) who are experiencing or at risk of exploitation and abuse, then you have a crucial role to play in disrupting their exploitation and stopping the perpetrators who are ultimately responsible. It is only by everyone playing their part in disruption that we will be able to keep all children and young adults safe while targeting those who cynically profit from their abuse.

This session on ‘Disrupting Exploitation’ aims to:

• Explore what disruption means, the tools available and their crucial role within safeguarding and protection plans for children and young adults

• Explore the use of the Modern Slavery Act in disrupting perpetrators of exploitation and the use of evidence-led prosecutions
• Discuss the importance of taking a multi-agency approach to disruption
• Evidence best practice through learning from real life case studies
• Consider the application of disruption measures for those transitioning from childhood into adulthood.
• Explore the barriers and limitations to current legislation and civil orders
