How to spot the signs and keep children safe from county lines

Join Unseen Director Justine Carter for a powerful and essential discussion on tackling County Lines exploitation. In this expert-led webinar, speakers from Unseen, the UK Modern Slavery & Exploitation Helpline, and Devon County Council share frontline insights on recognising the signs of exploitation and protecting vulnerable children.

Explore the realities of County Lines, dispel common myths, understand the impact of COVID-19, and discover why a joined-up, multi-agency approach is critical. With real-life case studies and practical guidance, this is a must-watch for professionals and communities working to safeguard young people.

Please also support our county lines Helpline appeal. Our national helpline is a vital lifeline for children caught in exploitation. From just £16, you can help us provide crucial support to a child in need. Donate today: https://app.donorfy.com/form/WLMVLTU7...
