Young people’s feedback showed they had enjoyed the session and found them worthwhile.
Young People believed their awareness had been raised by the session.
Young people’s knowledge was strongest when describing impact of CE & Services.
Professionals
Majority showed marked improvement in knowledge of CSE.
Majority of those not able to answer questions at all about CSE before training were able to afterwards.
Follow up groups found professionals very positive about the programme.
Plans to evaluate the 2008-12 Programme

thinner across wide range than previously.
Interviewing PSHE co-ordinators in more depth.
Targeting larger numbers of residential social workers.
Children and YP in schools: Pre-testing of sample of children. Children & YP in PRU/Residential
settings Most difficult to engage group in
previous evaluations with one PRU Focus with on PRU on piloting more
innovation ways of involving children in research,
Allow more time & resources to engage children.
Meeting the recovery needs of Children
Identified via the Preventative Education Programme
Experience from the 2005-7 programme shows greater awareness will lead to children being recognized as Sexually exploited.
Safeguarding- Professionals more likely to acknowledge CE when a specialist service is available.
Metropolitan Police – committed to network of specialist services.
London Council plans to commission. - A much broader and more comprehensive network of specialist services providing therapeutic work to support children recovery from CSE.
