Description
The Child Criminal Exploitation and County Lines Course course is designed for professionals working with children, young people, and vulnerable adults who may be at risk of criminal exploitation. This essential programme provides a detailed understanding of how County Lines networks operate, the signs of exploitation, and the safeguarding responsibilities of those in frontline and multi-agency roles.
Focusing on the UK context of County Lines, child criminal exploitation (CCE), and modern slavery, this training equips participants to recognise the structures and tactics used by organised crime groups, identify vulnerable individuals at risk, and respond confidently within safeguarding frameworks. Learners will explore recruitment patterns, risk indicators, referral procedures, and trauma-informed support approaches for victims and their families.
The course also highlights the importance of early intervention, inter-agency collaboration, and professional competence in preventing County Lines involvement. By integrating current legislation, real-world case studies, and good practice models, this course supports practitioners in protecting children, supporting families, and strengthening community resilience against organised exploitation.
