1 Child Sexual Exploitation
Preventing Violence against Vulnerable People in the West Midlands Child Sexual Exploitation Phillipa Cresswell : Regional CSE Co-ordinator

3 What is CSE? “sexual exploitation of children and young people under 18 involves exploitative situations, contexts and relationships where young people (or a third person or persons) receive ‘something’ (eg. Food, accommodation, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, affection, gifts, money) as a result of them performing, and/or another or others performing on them, sexual activities. Child sexual exploitation can occur through the use of technology without the child’s immediate recognition. For example being persuaded to post sexual images on the internet/mobile phones without immediate payment or gain. In all cases, those exploiting the child/young person have power over them by virtue of their age, gender, intellect, physical strength and/or economic or other resources. Violence, coercion and intimidation are common, involvement in exploitative relationships being characterised in the main by the child or young person’s limited availability of choice resulting from their social/economic and/or emotional vulnerability.” West Midlands Regional CSE Framework, July 2015

5 CSE is child sexual abuse but it is characterised by the concept of exchange
It can affect any child under the age of 18 – even 16 and 17 year olds who can consent to sex Males and females can be both victims and perpetrators It exists across every ethnic grouping for both victims and perpetrators Not just adults abusing children – peer on peer also prevalent

6 Children rarely disclose:
May not recognise the situation as abusive May feel complicit as they have accepted some form of “reward” or have received something. Unhelpful professional language: A sexually active 12year old girl A 35 year old male is a 14 year olds boyfriend (rather than abuser)

7 Prevention Protection Prosecution – no one crime but many that can be used under the sexual offences act. No one agency has the key and we must work together to tackle!

8 It can take place on or offline by individuals or by groups
E.G A 14 year old male giving oral sex to a 17 year old male for money Three 15 year olds being taken to a party house and given drugs or alcohol and then being told they must pay this back through sexual activity with adults.
