An Introduction To Child Sexual Exploitation And Child Abuse Fostering

Whether you are a seasoned professional or brand new to this subject, this module is a great place to start. The course will take learners through the evolving definitions of child sexual exploitation, child sexual abuse, and the Sexual Offences Act (2003), giving examples of how the definitions and terminology are operationalised and employed in practice.

Serious case reviews focused on CSE are explored, compared, and used to provide examples of exploitation in the UK of children under the age of eighteen.
