Ivison Trust recognises and celebrates the lifelong commitment parents have for their child. We understand the lengths to which they will go to keep their child from harm.

Child sexual exploitation

Child sexual exploitation is a form of sexual, emotional and physical abuse of children.

Knowing the sign of child sexual exploitation and being aware of the support available can help to equip parents and carers with the knowledge and tools to intervene early.

Child criminal exploitation is the manipulation, coercion and control of children and young people to commit crimes usually for the benefit of other abusive adults or peers.

There are many forms of child criminal exploitation, all are extremely harmful to a child and their families.
