Polepark Family Services

Region: Scotland

Polepark Family Services works with children and young people who have experienced abuse. We provide a range of interventions for children and young people who have experienced or are at risk of sexual exploitation. We provide 1:1 support; therapeutic work where appropriate; help young people develop increased confidence and resilience, enable them to gain better understanding of the factors which can lead to sexual exploitation, help them to develop safety strategies and help build stronger support and protective networks around the child/young person.

Our group programme – FACE (Fighting Against Child Exploitation) is an award winning programme which supports and enables young people to support others who have experienced or are at risk of sexual exploitation; raise awareness of sexual exploitation and the factors which can increase the risks of sexual exploitation; develop and produce resource for professionals and young people – such as the Nae Danger pack and the FaceUp2It website (http://www.faceup2it.org/); and contribute to training for professionals and community groups.
