 Protecting from what: case studies of CSE  Tier 1: Prevention as protection  Tier 2: Early help as protection  Tier 3: Intervention as protection  Tier 4: Exit as protection  Tier 5: Recovery and protection  Models of CSE and implications for protection  What’s worked well  Current challenges – protection from individuals, groups and spaces  Implications for policy and practice BASW OCt 2013 Presentation - NOT TO BE REPRODUCED WITH CONSENT OF AUTHOR

 Ruth is 13 years old and living in residential care  Is groomed by a 20 year old male and perceives him as her boyfriend  The 20 year old male the passes Ruth onto a wider network of adult men  Ruth is trafficked around the country to ‘parties’ where she is sold for sexual activity  The network makes financial gain from the exploitation  Alcohol, threats and violence are used to ensure compliance  8 men are convicted once Ruth is an adult, Ruth now lives in another part of the country BASW OCt 2013 Presentation - NOT TO BE REPRODUCED WITH CONSENT OF AUTHOR

 Mark is 15 years old and lives with his parents  He strikes up a ‘friendship’ with an older man who recognises that Mark identifies as a ‘gay young man’  Mark is groomed by the older man for two years before sexual activity starts  The older man then takes Mark to the houses of his friends to whom he sells Mark  Mark’s parent’s threaten a forced marriage when they find out and Mark is taken into care  The older man, and his friends, are yet to be charged or prosecuted BASW OCt 2013 Presentation - NOT TO BE REPRODUCED WITH CONSENT OF AUTHOR

 Aged 11 and in first year of secondary school  Makes friends with a group of boys aged all of whom are gang-associated and linked to adult gang members  Over a 10 month period is sexually exploited by ten of these boys (alongside other peers)  Public space sexual violence  Coercion into offending (robbery and weapon carrying)  Threats online and in person  Physical violence and emotional abuse  Three boys convicted and Cecile moved BASW OCt 2013 Presentation - NOT TO BE REPRODUCED WITH CONSENT OF AUTHOR

 Ruth  Mark  Cecile  AND THEIR PEERS BASW OCt 2013 Presentation - NOT TO BE REPRODUCED WITH CONSENT OF AUTHOR

Cecile, Ruth and Mark would have been protected if their exploitation had been prevented in the first place through:  PSHE  Identification of CSA  Support in relation to sexuality and identity  Whole school approaches to gender equality  Identification and apprehension of adults who pose a risk to children (both the boys and the girls) BASW OCt 2013 Presentation - NOT TO BE REPRODUCED WITH CONSENT OF AUTHOR

Cecile, Ruth and Mark would have been protected if early-help had been offered to address their vulnerability through:  Treatment and support for impact of CSA  Interruption of recruitment of ‘gang members’  Youth service provision and spaces for conversation  Response to school absence BASW OCt 2013 Presentation - NOT TO BE REPRODUCED WITH CONSENT OF AUTHOR

Cecile and Mark received an intervention following/during their exploitation and were protected from some aspects of their abuse:  Both were referred to specialist sexual violence and exploitation services  These services took a therapeutic approach to working with them and focused on securing safety and stabilisation  In Cecile’s case some of the those who had exploited her were arrested and remanded in custody  Harassment and abduction notices, plus licensing also used BASW OCt 2013 Presentation - NOT TO BE REPRODUCED WITH CONSENT OF AUTHOR

Cecile and Mark were offered exit strategies as part of their protection:  Cecile and her family were moved out of the area that she lived in, and Cecile was later taken into care  Mark was taken into local authority care and placed in a residential children’s home outside of the area he lived  Ruth moved of her own accord as she got older BASW OCt 2013 Presentation - NOT TO BE REPRODUCED WITH CONSENT OF AUTHOR

In order to protect Cecile, Ruth and Mark from re-victimisation and on-going trauma, the following issues needed to be addressed:  Emerging personality disorder (Ruth)  Coping strategies: cutting (Ruth, Cecile), alcohol use (Ruth)  Eating-Disorder (Mark)  Disengagement from education (all three) BASW OCt 2013 Presentation - NOT TO BE REPRODUCED WITH CONSENT OF AUTHOR

 Containment  Re-victimisation through networks  Unsafe neighbourhoods or schools (movement from home or school environment)  Work with young people who are exploiting  Protection of bystanders and witnesses  Protection without the criminal justice process? BASW OCt 2013 Presentation - NOT TO BE REPRODUCED WITH CONSENT OF AUTHOR

FOCUSED AT THE INTERVENTION STAGE  Disruption of adult offenders  Monitoring of online spaces  Movement when required  Use of licensing  Increased awareness and alertness as a result or public debate  Pockets of specialist interventions BASW Oct 2013 Presentation - NOT TO BE REPRODUCED WITH CONSENT OF AUTHOR

 Risk permeates environments, networks and groups – challenge in containment  Re-engagement in education and peer groups  Measuring vulnerabilities and/or strengths as a mean of protection  Engagement with bystanders as means of protection  Creating ‘victim vacuums’ rather than changing the space at all  GAPS: Prevention, early-help, exit and recovery BASW OCt 2013 Presentation - NOT TO BE REPRODUCED WITH CONSENT OF AUTHOR
