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. At the end of this module, a discussion surrounding the safeguarding duties of professionals considers both best practice and how to improve our responses to concerns about a child.

1. To understand the definitions and terminology used in child sexual exploitation and abuse

3. To explore serious case reviews and inquiries to provide case examples
