Abstract

Abstract : Key Practitioner Messages: Young people at risk of child sexual exploitation (CSE) value peer mentoring and will respond to services that they regard as authentic, consistent and tailored to their needs. Practitioners should always endeavour to prioritise the voices of young people - they are articulate about CSE. Arts‐based projects should be given fuller consideration as a potentially effective vehicle for building resilience and combatting the CSE threat.
