"Not in our school" - County Lines and Child Sexual exploitation
In one of our most recent EasySRE films ‘Snagged’ we tackled the thorny subject of grooming, CSE (or Child Sexual exploitation), County Lines* and extremism. With an estimated 200,000+ young people ensnared in County Lines alone, Julia Goldsmith (from Catcher Media) speaks to Andy Thompson about: noticing the signs, helping young people to find a way out, how schools/parents/carers can be informed and what they can do to deal with this growing issue.
Andy Thompson is Operations Manager of Street Teams in Walsall and Managing Director of CYP First, a national training company. His training speciality includes Disruption, Contextual Safeguarding, County Lines, CSE and working with survivors of child sexual exploitation and child exploitation.

* County Lines is where illegal drugs are transported from one area to another, often across police and local authority boundaries (although not exclusively), usually by children or vulnerable people who are coerced into it by gangs. The ‘County Line’ is the mobile phone line used to take the orders of drugs. Importing areas (areas where the drugs are taken to) are reporting increased levels of violence and weapons-related crimes as a result of this trend - National Crime Agency.
