Children and young people face an increased risk of criminal exploitation for a variety of reasons, and identifying key indicators early is essential for effective support and intervention. Our trainers with lived experience of gangs and serious youth violence will share practical ideas and effective strategies to help you identify risk, support young people and work effectively with parents and carers.
