Safe and Sound Launches Wider Exploitation Programme
Derbyshire’s specialist child exploitation charity, Safe and Sound, has launched a new far-reaching programme in response to the increased vulnerabilities amongst children and young people to wider exploitation.
The charity says that increased isolation, online grooming and pressure on family finances during the pandemic has led to a rise in the number of children and young people becoming vulnerable to exploitation.
Safe and Sound’s own workload has increased 50% in the past year and this, it fears, is only the tip of the iceberg.
