How does Barnardo’s help children and young people who have been sexually exploited?
Barnardo’s runs specialist sexual exploitation services that offer a safe, confidential environment where young people can go for help, advice and support. Our project workers actively seek out young people, offering them the long-term support they need if they want to change their way of life. The services work with schools and others to educate vulnerable young people to protect themselves from exploitation, and with the police to bring about the prosecution of perpetrators of sexual exploitation.
