Abstract

Child Sexual Exploitation is a pressing issue of social injustice about which professional learning is urgently needed. It is now recognised that sexual exploitation can continue beyond the age of 18 and that its impact can stay with young people well after they turn 18. Many welfare services are organised in response to the perceived needs of either children or adults, and this can mean that the needs of young people of a ‘transitional’ age fall between the two. It is timely to draw together what is currently known about safeguarding children, young people and young adults aged 16-25, from the past 20 years of research on sexual exploitation. The voices of children and young people who have experienced CSE and recognition of the complexity of their lives needs to be central to understanding what are appropriate responses and interventions from services, communities and support networks.
