The best way to tackle and disrupt this is with knowledge and information about what Child Exploitation is; what the signs are, what to do if you are worried and what support is available for families in North Yorkshire.

Do not blame yourself


Parents are often the first to notice that their child is being exploited. It is so important to act quickly and intervene early if you suspect your child is being exploited. Listen to some parents whose children have been exploited talk about the changes they noticed in their child.

Spotting the signs of Child Exploitation

Parents Against Child Exploitation (PACE) have worked in partnership with parents who have been affected by child exploitation to challenge the stigma associated with child exploitation. Featuring the voices of affected parents, the film tells the story of what it feels like for parents to live with the stigma and how everyone can play a role in supporting families with compassion and courage, instead of blame and shame.
