What is Child Sexual Exploitation?

Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) is a form of sexual abuse. It occurs when an individual uses an imbalance of power to coerce, force or manipulate a young person to take part in sexual activity. This can be in exchange for gifts, money, affection, food or shelter.

CSE does not always include physical contact, it can also occur through the use of technology, via a mobile phone, online and/or gaming.

Spot the signs of CSE

Below are some of the signs of sexual exploitation:

Watch Carly's story below to find out about some of the signs to spot:

Seeing these signs in someone may not automatically mean they are being sexually exploited. It may be that something else is going on for that person. But, if you spot a number of these signs in someone, it is important to raise this with a trusted adult to ensure that person is safe.

There is a general misconception that Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) is not needed for children and young people with complex neurodisabilities. Since September 2021, RSE teaching has been compulsory across all schools.

We have found:

Limited adapted RSE education for children and young people to learn, stay safe, understand their bodies, relationships and sexuality in full

Staff are ill-equipped or lack confidence to teach RSE to children and young people with complex neurodisabilities

No appropriate resources for teachers/parents/staff

Lack of specialised openly descriptive/visual training regarding personal care

Families and carers may also be unaware of the need for RSE or uncertain how to address this subject

What we can offer

A user-friendly toolkit consisting of training sessions and resources, including 34 ready-made lesson plans and supporting videos for teachers and staff to deliver quality RSE to children and young people with complex neurodisabilities.
About the author and trainer
Helen Dunman has been teaching RSE and Drama to young people with a range of SEND for 30 years, specialising in children and young people with severe learning disabilities. She currently teaches at Chailey Heritage Foundation. In 2017, her work in RSE was recognised by the Worshipful Company of Educators with an Inspirational Educator Award. She currently has whole-school responsibility for RSE at CHF which was referenced as Outstanding in the last OFSTED report. Helen is also a member of SHADA (Sexual Health and Disability Alliance), which promotes good sex education for people with disabilities of all ages. Helen writes about this subject in educational journals and speaks at conferences around the UK.

Puberty can be a challenging time. For children and young people who have a learning disability, puberty may come with increased challenges, such as understanding the changes in their bodies, managing their emotions, and expressing their feelings.

Understanding privacy and the difference between public and private behaviours can also be difficult and, at times, confusing.

We know this can also be a tricky time for parents and carers who want to support their children and young people through this new stage of growing up.

This guide, created by Together for Childhood Stoke in collaboration with key local partners, helps to provide parents and carers with advice, guidance, and practical tips.

The language and symbols used in this guide are intentionally simple and accessible. This is to support parents and carers when they are exploring puberty with their child or young person.

This booklet is accessible for anyone who requires a screen reader by using NVDA.

We have developed online workshops for boys and school assemblies to make sure that there are opportunities for young men and boys to explore what they could be beyond stereotypes, how they can build healthier relationships and how they can contribute to gender equality.

Gender inequality affects everyone, everywhere. Our work gives boys the chance to be part of the movement for change. These activities and workshops aren't for "problem schools" or "difficult children", they're for anyone who wants to help their boys learn about themselves, equality and be part of a growing movement for change.

Various options are available for your school. Contact us or download our brochure for details.
