The BBC has published a news story on reports of child sexual abuse in hotels in England. Data shared with the BBC by the National Police Chief's Council (NPCC) shows that of the 504 offences recorded in hotels in 2023, 92% involved physical contact with a child, while 40% were recorded as rape. The news story discusses child sexual exploitation and signs to look out for.
There is lots of information on the ESCB website for professionals and for those working in hotels of what to look out for and what to do if concerned.
