Child Sexual Exploitation Support Services

Tender description

Aims of the support service for victims of CSE are split into two main areas of focus: • Prevention - Raise the level of professional and public awareness of the negative effects of sexual exploitation and the role that communities can play in helping tackle this issue. • Young people who are victims of CSE, - the service will provide in depth, long term therapeutic care and counselling, along with helping to identify suitable accommodation where necessary and help to manage pre and post court challenges in cases where it is required. The Service will need to be delivered to young people predominantly aged 12 to 18 years old, where there is evidence to suggest exploitation and where it is assessed that positive outcome will be achievable through this intervention. For all young people (at whatever level of the continuum of need) risk management strategies need to be agreed and included in the plan for the young person. In all cases, workers will help to build resilience in families so that they can meet the needs of their children appropriately.
