Child Sexual Exploitation

Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE)

For over 25 years, our specialist residential care services have provided outstanding therapeutic care and education for young girls who have experienced child sexual exploitation (CSE) and Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE).

Our outcomes are underpinned by a well-defined and child focused approach supported by a complete personalised care pathway leading to successful transitions into either foster care, supported accommodation or a home return where appropriate.
