How Schools Can Play an Important Part in Preventing Grooming and Exploitation This March

The National Child Exploitation Awareness Day (CEADay) is an event organised by the NWG Network to raise awareness of the reality, warning signs and impact of child exploitation — and to encourage everyone to take action to help prevent it.

The day helps to increase public awareness of all forms of child exploitation including child sexual exploitation and criminal exploitation / county lines. It aims to help young people and professionals to think, spot and speak out if they suspect that a child is being exploited.

Schools can take part in CEADay by linking their own RSHE work on safeguarding and support prevention work to recognise signs of grooming or exploitation before harm occurs.

Loudmouth can help you achieve this with theatre in education programmes that are proven to increase awareness of the issues and spotting signs and knowledge of where to go for support.

Helping Hands - Loudmouth’s primary programme Helping Hands uses age-appropriate drama and discussions to build builds safeguarding awareness. It teaches a range of steps that children can take to feel safer and gradually explores topics including online grooming and county lines.

Working for Marcus - Loudmouth’s secondary programme Working for Marcus programme helps young people understand different forms of grooming and exploitation. The safe and trauma informed approach helps students to recognise manipulation and know where to seek help.

Our trained and experienced teams can visit your school on or around CEADay in March. To book your session contact us on 0121 446 4880 or email us at enquiry@loudmouth.co.uk
