Welcomes and introductions Visitor – Ali Hampshire Child Sexual Exploitation Is this an issue that is mentioned in schools? Most members say no There is a bit about online dangers Should it be spoken about? Maybe in a tutor session, but not a formal lesson – a one year course Best way to get the information to young people? Videos Reconstruction Leaflets are not as effective as face to face communication Assemblies – try and make fun and engaging Should be an approachable person who delivers the information Visits should be targeted at the 11-14 year olds (school years 7 and 8) Why are most cases at 13-14 years old? Facebook joining age Real world to online age transition Not understanding the dangers of online grooming and exploitation Some people don’t realise things are inappropriate – people need to know what it is so they can be aware of when it is happening Questionnaire to be given to members at a later date regarding the issue Information sheet given to members by visitors including a desired outcome for a council contract – suggestion that liaison with young people gets added to outcome
