Curriculum

The Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) course provides an essential, practical framework for professionals dedicated to protecting children and young people from sexual abuse, grooming, and harm. Child Sexual Exploitation is a form of sexual abuse where individuals or groups take advantage of an imbalance of power to coerce, manipulate, or deceive a child into sexual activity, often in exchange for affection, gifts, money, status, or protection.

This course explores the underlying mechanics of CSE, examining perpetrator behaviors, digital risks, vulnerability indicators, and psychological manipulation. Learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of statutory safeguarding legislation, multi-agency protocols, and trauma-informed intervention models. By mastering these competencies, care providers, educators, and social service professionals will be equipped to identify subtle warning signs, handle disclosures compassionately, and build effective long-term protection strategies.
