Gangs, crime and exploitation

Exploitation occurs in many forms including sexual, criminal, modern day slavery, radicalisation, and financial. It is a form of abuse that can cause severe harm to individuals' mental wellbeing and often leads to other serious crimes. By understanding more about child grooming and exploitation, and taking a multi-agency approach, we can increase the likelihood of identifying exploitation.
