Training & Awareness in Child Sexual & Criminal Exploitation
WHat we do
“No Whispers” is a Community Interest Company based in Lancashire.
The key focus is on delivering training and awareness in child sexual and criminal exploitation to prevent abuse, offer support and enhance contextual safeguarding.
Training and workshops can be tailored to meet needs and interests of participants and are suitable for professionals, volunteers, and members of the community.
Training is interactive, informative & impactful.
Child sexual exploitation and child criminal exploitation are sensitive and difficult subjects to talk about, but we need to face the hard facts of reality and take on more robust safeguarding interventions and positive action to address the vulnerabilities of children and young people who are being affected by sexual and criminal exploitation.
It’s important to remember these forms of exploitation can happen to any child or young person regardless of their age, gender, ability or disability, race, culture, geographic location, or social background.
CPD – Child sexual exploitation awareness training Level 1 is available as a CPD Accredited Course.
