Catch22Minutes

Missing Children and Child Exploitation

Listen Later

In this episode of Catch22Minutes, we explore how and why children go missing, how it can be prevented, and the signs that a missing episode may be linked to exploitation. We cover what to do if you’re worried that a child is missing, and discuss the response to missing children, including the good, and not so good, practice that can make a real difference as to whether a child goes missing again.

We are joined by Josie Allan, Senior Partnerships and Policy Manager at Missing People, and James Simmonds Read, National Prevention Programme Manager at The Children’s Society.
