SAFE (Safeguarding Adolescents from Exploitation)

Welcome to our new X page! We are a specialist exploitation team based in Redcar and Cleveland who launched in April 2024. We work with children and families at risk of or experiencing exploitation and strive to end exploitation and serious youth violence 1/4

It’s time to break the silence. Today is National Child Exploitation Awareness Day and we’re calling on everyone to be the eyes and ears of their community. Exploitation can be hidden in plain sight, but by knowing the signs, we can protect the next generation. #StepwellAlliance #HelpingHands #CEADay26

Today is National Child Exploitation Awareness Day, we stand united in protecting children and young people. Trust your instincts—if you see something, say something. 👉 stop-ce.org #CEADay #StopCE #PreventionthroughPartnerships #HelpingHands #Safeguarding

Today is National Child Exploitation Awareness Day. Every child deserves safety, protection, and a voice. Let’s stand together to recognise the signs, support survivors, and speak out against exploitation. Awareness can save lives. #CEADay #EndChildExploitation #SAFETeamRCBC

This week, we are raising awareness on the urgent issue of child sexual exploitation. CSE is a form of child abuse where young people are coerced to take part in sexual activity, often manipulated by gifts, money, drugs or alcohol in return. #HelpingHands #CEADay26

Today is National Child Exploitation Awareness Day. If you only share one thing this week, make it this video. Who is behind the screen is not just an online safety slogan. It is a real safeguarding question. Watch today’s video and share it.

“I wanted them all to notice” - This week is practice week and we are focusing on Child Sexual Abuse (CSA). It is estimated that 1 in 10 children are sexually abused by the age of 16. This week is all about strengthening our practice to support children and their families.
