​​Confronting child sexual exploitation (CSE) is a priority area for the Jersey Safeguarding Partnership, which has a CSE and Missing Children sub-group dedicated to monitoring, action and awareness-raising.

The missing persons policy makes specific reference to CSE, ensuring policy and practice is joined up. It is our collective multi-agency responsibility to identify children and young people who are at risk of exploitation or running away and our joint responsibility to prevent them becoming victims of this form of abuse. Primarily our intent is to improve the lives of children and young people living in Jersey.

This strategy sets out how we will do this.
