Tuesday 18 March marks National Child Exploitation Awareness Day. Our Operation Makesafe work focuses on the prevention of child sexual exploitation, specifically incidents which take place in hotels. This work, overseen by the CSE Taskforce is important because: ➡️It highlights the issue of hotels being used as locations to abuse and exploit children, ➡️It raises awareness of the positive work being done to prevent this, ➡️It supports the public in helping them to better understand the purpose of interventions carried out by hotel staff to safeguard children and young people. Visit our website to find a selection of resources available to help hotels, policing and the general public raise awareness of Makesafe.
