Child Sexual Exploitation
Local Picture and Your
Responsibility
2015
So what is CSE ???
• Someone taking advantage of you sexually,
for their own benefit.
• Through threats, bribes, violence, humiliation
or by saying they love you, they will have the
power to get you to do sexual things for their
own, or others benefit or enjoyment
(including touching or kissing private parts,
sex, taking sexual photos).
Young Women’s Group & The Children’s Society, 2008.
CSE in 2015
• Offenders will use different ways to
groom children into sending them
indecent images of themselves, by
using social media e.g. Facebook,
Snapchat, Instagram etc to get what
they want.
• Sometimes it’s the people we trust who
take advantage of us.
Safeguarding
• If you were to come across an incident
when CSE was suspected, you have an
obligation to follow your normal
safeguarding procedures.
• Consult your Designated Lead and they
will advise on the best form of action.
What is sexting ???
• A ‘sext’ doesn’t have to be an indecent
photograph of a young person. It could
also be a sexual text message, voice
message, or even video.
• An indecent photo of a young person
doesn’t have to be fully nude, it can be
partially nude also.
Consequences …
• It could go viral around school.
It could even go world wide.
• Legal action could potentially be taken
against a person and the police could get
involved.
Consequences …

Don’t be scared of
messing up
• No serious case review has ever held an
agency to account for sharing information,
however they have done so when
agencies haven't shared information.
• Agencies are there for a reason, don’t be
frightened of asking for help, information
or guidance.
