The resulting report – entitled Time to Listen – focuses on how local authorities, police, probation services, Youth Offending Teams, health services and Local Safeguarding Children Boards are working together to tackle and prevent CSE.
It has been published after inspections by Ofsted, the Care Quality Commission, HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and HM Inspectorate of Probation.
While the report as a whole carries key messages about joint working and best practice across all the services involved, it also emphasises the vital role of schools and includes a number of case studies of best practice.
It states: “We found that schools played an essential role in raising awareness among large numbers of children about the risks of CSE. We saw a range of approaches used, including supporting some children to speak out about their experiences of being exploited.”
