Child Sexual Exploitation
•
•
•
•
Derby Safeguarding
Children Board
Systematic abuse of children and young people
Includes boys and girls
The perpetrators are responsible for the abuse
Constrained choices can also be a factor
MacDonald, M. (2005)
Risk Factors
Derby Safeguarding
Children Board
• No one risk factor
• Risk factors are often interdependent
• Risk factors can be divided into individual, family
and social
• Social risk factors are very broad and include
poverty, community, neighbourhood, school, and
peers among others
• The key to predication/prevention is an
accumulation of risk factors

AT RISK OF CSE - NOT SEXUALLY
EXPOITED
Derby Safeguarding
Children Board
The involvement of many young people in
anti social behaviour brought them into
contact with the Police
Their behaviour was infrequently recognised
as the symptomatic of sexual exploitation
CONSENT
COERCION
Young People’s Stories
Derby Safeguarding
Children Board
• “He said he would bash up my face and no one
would want me” (age 15)
• “I was sexually abused by my dad so it makes
no difference if I do it with strangers” (age 12)
• “I couldn’t tell my family it would bring such
shame on them”
• “If I tell you would you tell my mum?” (age 13)
• “They have all the power, you don’t have any
choice” (age 15)

Sex Offender – Victim Statistics
• 70% of child sex offenders have between
1 and 9 victims
• At least 20% have 10 to 40 victims
• Serial child sex offenders may have and
many as 400 victims in a lifetime
Elliott, M., Browne, K., & Kilcoyne, J. (1995)
The Derby Action Plan
Derby Safeguarding
Children Board
Prevention – Protection – Prosecution
PARTICIPATION
Not victim led but as active agents
(Article 9 requires that we encourage the participation of
children, according to their evolving capacity)
Don’t
Derby Safeguarding
Children Board
• Rely on punishment to change behaviour
• Think that locking young people up will solve the
problem
• Underestimate the impact of threats, coercion or
excitement on young people
• Ignore community resources such as schools,
residential centres etc
• Ignore the social context of sexualisation,
socialisation, aggression - the role of the media,
electronic gaming, and the internet

Readiness for School
Derby Safeguarding
Children Board
• "Derby performs worse than England, the East
Midlands and Family group of LAs in each of the
13 assessments, and consequently six areas of
learning.
• The most common developmental issues for
children starting school in Derby are: the inability
to use cutlery (24%); and to dress/undress
independently (22%).
• Derby is just one of 39 LAs in England where the
gap, and therefore inequality of achievement
between the lowest performing 20% in the area
and the average for the area, has widened since
2010." Profile Census (EYFS 2011)
Domestic Violence
Outcome Measures
Derby Safeguarding
Children Board
• The IQ scores of children exposed to domestic abuse
during the first two years is, on average, 7.25 points lower
than those who were not exposed.
• 63% of children (experiencing DV) showed more
emotional or behavioural problems than the average child
(Beyond Violence; Breaking cycles of domestic abuse – CSJ July 2012)
Comparing 2010/11 and 2011/12 there has been in Derby:
• An decrease in number of DV incidents,
• An increase in the number of recorded DV crimes
• Whilst there was a decline in overall recorded crime, the
proportion of all crime that is Domestic Violence has
increased
Bullying
Derby Safeguarding
Children Board
• Young people who reported being bullied had
lower Key Stage 4 scores than other young
people.
• Children in England who reported being bullied
did15% worse at GCSE and were twice as likely
to be NEET at aged 16.(EHRC 2010)
• 227 - 10 and 11 year olds showed that 1 in 5 had
been cyberbullied in the past 12 months. 22%
did not know how to protect themselves online,
and 18% had been cyberbullied while at home
(Anti Bullying Alliance 2009)
Supporting
safeguarding arrangements
Derby Safeguarding
Children Board
• How do we quality assure and support schools to
know whether it is safer for children now in 2012?
Inspection regime from September 2012
• “pupils’ behaviour towards, and respect for, other
young people and adults, and their freedom from
bullying, harassment, and discrimination
• whether pupils feel safe and their ability to assess
and manage risk appropriately and to keep
themselves safe”
