Barnardos Tees Valley – Free ‘Child Criminal Exploitation’ webinar
Barnardos Tees Valley will be holding three webinars on Child Criminal Exploitation this month for parents and carers, that will enable participants to spot the signs of modern slavery, specifically child criminal exploitation (CCE.).

- Gain an understanding about grooming techniques used by organised crime groups in Cleveland to lure children into criminal exploitation.
- Take a closer look at defining County Lines and consider the trauma children suffer at the hands of their exploiters.
