We are releasing a quarterly newsletter. You will be notified on the work that we do year round, keeping up to the date with county lines and child exploitation in the South West, as well as be given advice and education. Sign up with an online form here: eepurl.com/ikABOX

Our Parent Helpline is available today and tomorrow between 10am - 1pm! ✨ For any concern you have about your child being at risk of exploitation, please get in touch 📞Parent Helpline: 0800 389 3899 #escapeline #parenthelpline #childexploitation

Got a worry you can’t shake? 😔 If something about your child’s behaviour doesn’t feel right, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Our Parent Helpline is a safe, confidential place to talk things through Available Tues & Weds, 10am-1pm 📞 0800 389 3899

Behind every answered call and moment of reassurance… there’s a volunteer💙 Our volunteers help make sure parents & carers across the South West have somewhere safe to turn If you’d like to make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you! 📩enquiries@escapeline.org.uk

Could you sponsor a support session for parents affected by exploitation? Our monthly face-to-face group in Bournemouth is already making a real difference. But we need help to keep them going. 💷 £50 covers one full session Please donate at justgiving.com/page/rachel-ho…

When exploitation isn’t spoken about, it’s allowed to continue. County lines shouldn’t be a subject we avoid - the more it's discussed, the safer young people can navigate the risks. By naming it, understanding it and spotting the signs early, we can keep young people safer.

Protecting children starts with the adults around them ✨ We support teachers & wider professionals to strengthen the safety nets that prevent exploitation 💙 Through workshops for children and training for professionals, we’re protecting young people across the South West.

In 2026, we’re committed to: 💙 Reaching more young people with education 💙 Supporting more parents & carers through our Parent Helpline 💙 Challenging the silence around county lines & criminal exploitation 💙 Working with more schools, professionals & communities
