What is Jersey doing to tackle CSE?
The Safeguarding Partnership Board take the strategic lead and have formed a Child Sexual Exploitation sub-group. This group has produced an island strategy and an action plan.
At an operational level all CSE enquiries are routed through MASH (Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub) where relevant information is shared by all the agencies to provide support for young people and families and identify, disrupt and prosecute offenders.
The States of Jersey Police have embarked on a long program of awareness raising designed to help educate parents and young people in the island. We have a dedicated Public Protection Unit which looks at sensitive subjects like Domestic Violence, Child Abuse and Child Exploitation.
This team handles all issues of potential child sexual exploitation with sensitivity, professionalism and thoroughness, and are available to contact at any time on 612612.
Between 9am-5pm on Monday to Friday, you can also call the Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) on 449213.
