Child Exploitation Awareness Day

Loudmouth have many programmes that can support your education around sexual exploitation and county lines. These are all age appropriate and well researched with programmes that work across Key Stages 2 to 4.

We can also support councils and the Police in their work to prevent child exploitation (CE) with engaging educational programmes that empower young people to spot signs of exploitation, avoid victim blaming and know how to safely report concerns.

We have seen an increase in disclosures around issues such as child exploitation and have programmes that can work as gentle, early intervention education as well as programmes for secondary and college students.

"I can state quite categorically that had my therapy clients or I myself seen such a production and been part of such discussion when we were these pupils' age it would have saved us all what has often been decades of distress and has altered the course of our lives dramatically. Your work is priceless and I applaud Loudmouth's commitment to getting the word out and making the difference you do. Thank you." - Sally Craig, Therapist

Below are some of the way that we can help schools and other organisations to help children and young people to spot signs of grooming and exploitation.

Helping Hands - This is an early intervention programme that gently introduces topics such as child sexual abuse, child exploitation and sexual harassment. The drama is constructed around the NSPCC PANTS rules and uses short and appropriate scenes that look at how the PANTS rules could be used in real situations and how to get help and support. The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) toolkit shows that social skills training such as role play and problem solving workshops are particularly effective with 9-10 year olds in reducing crime.

Working for Marcus- This is one of our longest running programmes on sexual abuse and violence and looks at child exploitation including child sexual exploitation. The programme for secondary schools has recently been updated to include more work on the role of vulnerability in sexual exploitation and contextual safeguarding.
