NSPCC Why Language Matters - Criminal exploitation

Last updated by charlotte.lang@essex.gov.uk on Wednesday, September 18, 2024

 

NSPCC Learning has published a blog as part of the Why language matters series on why it’s important for professionals to consider the language they use when talking about child criminal exploitation. The blog explores how the terms ‘recruited’ and ‘working’ minimise children’s experiences of criminal exploitation. It also discusses how professionals can approach the topic of criminal exploitation with other professionals and the children they work with.
