A free app designed to help teachers and schools teach young people about the warning signs of child sexual exploitation has been launched by children’s charity Barnardo’s.

Produced with support from Microsoft, the Wud U? app (pictured) consists of several scenarios that any teenager might face and sets out the sorts of circumstances in which young people may be led into being sexually exploited. 

In each scenario, the user is asked to think about what they might do in similar situations and is then given advice about the decisions they make.

The app includes information about further resources and support related to the issues it raises.
