The resource is called Be Smart Be Safe and has been developed by the Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Board and Barnardo’s, the children’s charity.
Aimed at 11 to 17-year-olds, it explains terms like child sexual exploitation, grooming and trafficking, mentions child sexual abuse cases that have hit the national headlines and uses a scenario featuring two teenage girls to raise awareness of the grooming process.
“It’s the story of two 14-year-old girls, Chloe and Paige,” explained Caroline Mogg, child sexual exploitation prevention co-ordinator for the Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Board, a multi-agency board made up of representatives from the local authority, police, health service, probation trust, youth offending service, and voluntary sector.
