UK Action plan to tackle Child Sexual Exploitation Launched
Posted: 24/11/2011
A new action plan published on the 23rd November 2011 calls on all local areas to take urgent action to stop the sexual exploitation of children and young people.
Children’s Minister Tim Loughton warned of failure by local agencies to recognise and deal with the problem of child sexual exploitation in many areas of the country.
He said tackling child sexual exploitation must be a priority and Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCBs) must now act to establish the severity of the problem in their areas, make sure they are tackling it effectively, and put in place robust preventative strategies.
