We do this through protecting young people from sexual exploitation with targeted education projects and by working with businesses to reduce their exposure to modern slavery risks. Everyone needs to be more aware of grooming, CSE (child sexual exploitation) and trafficking, but particular groups are really important.

1) Young people need to be aware as they could be potential victims, which is why we work in schools and in children's care homes. 2) At-risk businesses need help to protect their enterprise from mis-use by traffickers. This is why we provide expert consultancy and services for modern slavery prevention in businesses. Business work directly prevents modern slavery and provides financial support to the charity's work with young people.
