Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) is child abuse. It can have a damaging and long lasting impact on children, as well as their families. Across County Durham Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB), partner agencies such as the police, children’s services and the NHS have been working together since 2008 to tackle Child Sexual Exploitation.
