Introduction to Child Sexual Exploitation

This module provides an introduction to the subject of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE); which is a form of child abuse. Sadly CSE is a significant issue for children and young people in the UK and is more prevalent and widespread than you may think. This is in part due to the ever growing use of technology in our communications. This module is therefore highly relevant for anyone working with children, young people and families and will provide a comprehensive introduction to this challenging subject. CSE is not just something that ‘other’ communities have to deal with, but could well be happening to children and young people that you know.

The module is a mixed media presentation which will guide you through key messages in a clear, straightforward and interesting way. Video and audio are used to explain and illustrate important learning points making it an effective and time saving tool to help you understand more about CSE. You can work at your own pace and revisit the module as often as you like in order to complete your learning.

On completion of the module you will be emailed certificate, your key course documents, as well as any notes that you took during the module, for you to keep and refer to as you wish.

  • Have a good understanding of what CSE is and what makes a child or young person more vulnerable to this form of abuse.
