Disrupting Exploitation Programme
Working one-to-one with child victims of exploitation and changing the systems that put children at risk
What is the Disrupting Exploitation Programme?
Funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, the Disrupting Exploitation Programme works with children who are vulnerable to, or are victims of Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE).
We work one-to-one with young people and on systems change. Our systems change work is focused on the policies, procedures, contexts and cultures around young people to improve the response to children in comparable situations in the future.
The programme runs in Greater Manchester, London and Birmingham.
In each region there is a multi-disciplinary team working long-term with young people.
Our partnership with Met Detention recently won an award for disrupting exploitation.
Who is the programme for?
The service is for children and young people who are at risk of exploitation, with a focus on child criminal exploitation.
We also want to encourage partners and professionals in the services to raise issues and have the freedom to approach new ideas and themes to help create system change.
