Child Criminal and Child Sexual Exploitation training, aimed at professionals working with children and young people.

Join us in person at the ONE Centre, Unit 2B, Stonehills Business Park, Bill Quay, Gateshead NE10 0HW on January 22, 2027 at 10:00 AM for a full day of training on Exploitation.

SCARPA (Safeguarding Children at Risk, Prevention and Action) is a team working across the North East to support children at risk of, or experiencing, exploitation.

We’ll cover important topics like Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE), Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE), how to spot the signs, and the best ways to talk with victims using positive language.

You'll also learn about Contextual Safeguarding, 'Target - Test - Trap', creative ways to engage young people, how to have conversations about exploitation in a way that supports children to understand their own safety plans, hearing what young people want from their support, and highlights from our Experts by Experience consultation with young people.

The training is interactive, with case study examples, breakout time and networking, and using skills and expertise in the room alongside the tailored and delivered content. This training is suitable for those with extensive experience of working with young people at risk outside their home, as well as those who do not see this within their day to day practice and want to hold more professional knowledge.

This training is fully funded by The Children's Society, with no cost to participants. Spaces are limited, so please book in advance and let us know if there are any changes to being able to participate. Spaces are allocated on a first come, first serve basis and a waitlist will be offered. Please note, lunch will not be provided but there will be tea and coffee available throughout the day
