COUNTY LINES
County Lines is a very serious issue where criminal gangs set up a drug dealing operation in a place outside their usual operating area. Gangs will move their drug dealing from big cities to smaller towns in order to make more money.

CSE
Child Sexual Exploitation
CSE is committed to helping safeguard children by encouraging residents to recognise and respond to Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) by spotting the signs and highlighting the fact that CSE can, and does happen in West Sussex.
CSE is a form of sexual abuse that involves the manipulation and/or coercion of young people under the age of 18 into sexual activity.
FGM
Female Genital Mutilation
Female Genital Mutilation (often referred to as FGM) is a destructive operation, during which the female genitals are partly or entirely removed or injured with the aim of inhibiting a woman’s sexual feelings. Most often the mutilation is performed before puberty, often on girls between the age of four and eight, but recently it is increasingly performed on babies who are only a couple of days, weeks or months old.
Mentor Awareness
Information for parents and carers
Strengthening family bonds to build resilience to risk
Parents and carers: you play a vital role in keeping children safe from drugs and alcohol. Don’t underestimate your influence, or how long it lasts. Your attitudes and behaviour help shape your child’s views on drink and drugs.
NSPCC
NSPCC stands for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
It means that each of us has a responsibility to keep childhood free from abuse, and we must do everything possible to protect children and prevent it from happening.
So if a law needs to change, or if more needs to be done to protect children, we demand it. The fact that we’re independent – relying on the public to fund our work – means we can push for change when others can’t.
