Child Exploitation Champions Network

Cumbria Safeguarding Children Partnership (CSCP) has been developing the Child Exploitation Champions Network. 

The CSCP aims for each organisation signed up to the partnership to have a Child Exploitation Champion. 

The purpose of the Child Exploitation Champion role is to: 

• Be a key contact for staff within an organisation/department to go to for support and advice in relation to child exploitation
• be a key contact for CSCP to share updates, resources and examples of good practice. Keep up to date with local arrangements, such as how and who to share concerns about child exploitation with and referral processes
• To provide advice and signposting in relation to the CERAR process and pathways
• To raise awareness, disseminate resources and information in relation to child exploitation within their organisation
• For those who wish to undertake CSCP Child Exploitation Train the Trainer course and become a designated trainer for their organisation
• To identify gaps in provision/practice and feed this back to the CSCP through Child Exploitation Forums/Network Meetings
• Keep up to date with local policy and procedures in relation to child exploitation which is supported by the CSCP
