Child Exploitation (CE) Awareness Week 2026 – Education providers #CEAwarenessWeek26

Schools and education settings are a key protective factor in the lives of children and young people. Staff often notice changes in behaviour, attendance, engagement or wellbeing before concerns are visible elsewhere, placing education providers at the heart of early safeguarding and prevention.

As part of Child Exploitation (CE) Awareness Week, education providers are supported to deliver a structured lesson pack for Year 9 (can be used for Year 9,10 or 11) to help students understand exploitation in a safe, age‑appropriate way.
