The issue of child sexual exploitation (CSE) has received intense
scrutiny in recent years, following a number of high profile legal
cases, serious case reviews and inquiries. This has resulted in
increasing expectations that those working in the field will know
how to appropriately manage and respond to this form of abuse. Of
course, this is no easy task given the widely acknowledged
difficulties of identifying and responding to sexual abuse and the
particular complexities associated with the gain dynamic within CSE
and the predominantly older age of children affected by it. This
edited collection draws on the latest research evidence and
academic thinking around CSE to consider issues of understanding
and response. Written by researchers from 'The International
Centre: Researching child sexual exploitation, violence and
trafficking' at the University of Bedfordshire, Part I considers
issues of understanding and conceptualisation. Part II considers
the practical implications of some of this thinking, sharing
learning from research and evaluation on prevention, identification
and response. Understanding and Responding to Child Exploitation
presents critical learning for academics and students, and for
those working in the fields of policy, practice and commissioning.
It is relevant to a wide range of disciplines including social
care, youth work, education, criminology, health and social policy.
Focusing on young people and adolescence, this book explores the
complexity of contemporary adolescent safeguarding. It highlights
evidence-informed practice and innovation in this area at the work,
serving as an accessible and invaluable resource for all working
with and supporting young people facing risk and harm. Core themes
covered by the book are the nature of harms facing some young
people, the potential pitfalls of some professional responses, and
the current legal framework for safeguarding young people where
harm occurs outside the family home. It includes an overview of
adolescent development, and argues for a holistic, systemic
response that addresses the structural disadvantage facing many
young people at risk and incorporates participatory and
trauma-informed practice designed to promote resilience. It draws
on innovative approaches in local areas, such as Transitional
Safeguarding, to make the case for a person-centred,
evidence-informed and rights-based approach to safeguarding young
people. As well as being invaluable to practitioners, managers and
strategic leaders working in this field, this is also ideally
suited to be a text for any social work course or professional
development programme on adolescent safeguarding practice.
