New Development of our Child Exploitation (CE) programmes
We are doing some updates on our Helping Hands and Working for Marcus. We are being asked more and more about county lines and the drug, knife crime and criminal exploitation aspects and so will be working on these ready to go into schools with the new versions in September 24. We are also keeping a close eye on the new RSHE draft guidance to ensure that whatever the final guidance is, our programmes will work within these. If you work with children or young people around child exploitation then we would like to hear from you with this short survey to help us develop our child exploitation programmes.

Helping Hands
Last year we delivered our Helping Hands programme to nearly 12,000 children. We are incredibly proud of this programme and how it safely introduces issues to 8 - 11 year olds on staying safe and where to get help and support if you don't feel safe. You can read a short summary of the key evaluation and impacts of this programme here.
