Abstract

If you work in the residential childcare sector, it’s likely that you will have seen some of the research and policy-based work published in Scotland over the last couple of years concerning child sexual exploitation (CSE) and related trafficking. Important publications from CELCIS and the Scottish Government have looked at what we know about the prevalence and nature of the problem in a Scottish context, while the Scottish Parliament's Petition committee published the findings of their 9- month inquiry in January 2014 arguing for a national strategy to tackle this issue. Recently it’s been difficult to avoid discussions on this subject at conferences, training events and practitioners' forums.
