Counting Lives - Responding to children who are criminally exploited

This report is a call to action for professionals to recognise child criminal exploitation and provide a coordinated safeguarding response. Child criminal exploitation is a complex problem that requires a joined-up approach from statutory and non-statutory agencies, and accurate sharing of intelligence and recording of concerns facing children. The report focuses specifically on the experiences of children targeted by criminal networks to distribute illegal drugs (referred to as the 'child criminal exploitation through the county lines model'). Being caught possessing or distributing drugs is of course a serious crime at any age, but where children are groomed by criminal groups they need to be recognised as victims of exploitation. The report sheds light on how safeguarding duties interact with law enforcement responses in these instances potentially with very different consequences and long term impacts on a child's life.
