NHS - Spotting the signs of child sexual exploitation
Supported by Health Education England (HEE), in association with the Department of Health and NHS England, this short video presents a series of scenarios involving a young person potentially at risk of child sexual exploitation (CSE) and uses the voice of a real-life victim who talks about her experiences at the hands of a CSE gang.
The video provides practical advice on what to do if you suspect a patient or person in your care is at risk and makes it clear that there is a responsibility to report any activity that you think is suspicious.
After watching this video you should be able to:
- describe what CSE is, who is at risk and the impact it can have on young people's lives
- recognise the indicators of CSE in various healthcare settings
- understand your professional responsibility to take action to protect and support any young person you suspect may be at risk of CSE.
