Terms Of Reference
Child Exploitation of both a Sexual and Criminal nature puts children in our communities at risk of serious harm. It is often the case that indicators are initially minor or that information comes from a third party and as professionals we feel the need to share this and gain advice as to how to manage the information. The Pennine Anti Child Exploitation Panel has been established with the intention of providing professionals in education, health and social care with an expert sounding board for these concerns, assistance in developing an action plan to help young people at risk and signposting to appropriate support.
Aims and Objectives
1.     To support professionals in managing concerns around Child Exploitation
2.     To raise awareness of support available to pupils, parents and professionals
3.     To encourage the sharing of information with appropriate partners
4.     To enhance the knowledge and understanding of the role professionals have in reducing criminal exploitation
5.     To provide an expert sounding board through the panel with members who hold seniority and are able to affect change and take action where needed

The panel will run via referral from professionals with concerns.
Forms will be submitted by email to the panel for review before the meeting date.
