CE Awareness Campaign:

A county-wide campaign to raise awareness of Child Exploitation (CE) continues to run in Northamptonshire.

The campaign helps people across the county recognise the signs of CSE as well as Criminal Exploitation with a wide range of resources available from all partner organisations in county.

In addition, the campaign directly targets young people. Some children do not see themselves as victims of CEE, and the campaign aims to speak directly to those who might themselves be victims or who might see the signs in someone in their peer group.

The latest addition to the campaign is the #ImBeingExploited Film.
