National CE Awareness Day
Think, spot and speak out against abuse
18 March is the annual day promoting awareness of the exploitation which criminals target at children and young people. The more we all know about the signs of exploitation, the sooner we can help young people who are the victims of manipulation by criminal adults. Watch our School Police Officers’ video blog to learn for yourself, and check out other resources on this page from NWG Network.
