Description
Missing signs of child sexual exploitation, misunderstanding grooming behaviours, or feeling unsure about reporting concerns can create serious challenges for professionals supporting children and young people. The Child Sexual Exploitation Awareness Training from High Skills Training helps learners recognise grooming, understand exploitation methods, identify warning signs, and respond appropriately using effective safeguarding responsibilities and reporting procedures.
This course aligns with key guidance including Working Together to Safeguard Children, KCSIE (Keeping Children Safe in Education), and safeguarding frameworks used by CQC and Ofsted.
This online course is designed for teachers, DSLs, school staff, social workers, foster carers, residential care workers, youth workers, police and statutory safeguarding professionals, and healthcare staff supporting children and young people.
Learners will explore the foundations of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE), including definitions, exploitation models, grooming stages, myths, and the connection between human trafficking and exploitation. The course focuses on recognising risk factors, vulnerability indicators, online grooming, and digital indicators to help professionals understand how exploitation can develop and why some young people may not disclose abuse.
The training also covers identifying signs of exploitation, understanding child responses, approaching disclosures appropriately, and using safeguarding processes to assess concerns. Learners will explore contextual safeguarding, professional curiosity, Section 17 and Section 47 safeguarding thresholds, multi-agency working, and responsibilities for reporting concerns.
Further topics include supporting children and families, reducing victim-blaming, trauma-informed approaches, child criminal exploitation (CCE), county lines, trafficking risks, legal frameworks, disruption strategies, and digital risk management.
You will get 24/7 learner support and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Upon completion, you will receive a FREE Digital Certificate. Enrol in this Child Sexual Exploitation Awareness Training and build confidence in recognising risks, responding to concerns, and supporting safer outcomes for children and young people.
