This session provides attendees with an overview and understanding of all the components of Modern Slavery including sexual and criminal exploitation and human trafficking.

For practitioners to effectively support children impacted by abuse through exploitation we must recognise the level of manipulation and brutality that perpetrators often use to groom and control.

This session explores this as well as the vulnerabilities that perpetrators look to exploit and how their methods often prevent children from recognising or disclosing this form of abuse. We conclude by briefly encouraging attendees to identify signs and indicators of exploitation which we need to look for and respond to to safeguard our children.
