On National Child Exploitation Awareness Day, we celebrate the young people from Slough who played a vital role in a nationwide campaign tackling county lines exploitation. Led by UK Youth and Stop the Traffik, and funded by Burger King, the initiative engaged 383,688 young people across England, raising awareness about child criminal exploitation.
Through creative workshops, young people designed impactful digital content, leveraging social media trends to ensure their message reached their peers. Their work has made a real impact, with 54.5% of respondents realising they or someone they know might be at risk.
