John Campion: Groups need to work together to help children at risk
A joined up approach by different agencies and councils is needed to help children at risk of criminal or sexual exploitation, Shropshire's police and crime commissioner has said.
John Campion said that working together, agencies could tackle the complex issues that lead young people into crime.
His comments come after a new £2 million programme was launched by Education Secretary Damian Hinds.
The Tackling Child Exploitation Support programme is designed to improve how different local areas respond to child exploitation – such as gang, county lines drug dealing, online grooming, sexual exploitation, trafficking or modern slavery.
Mr Campion welcomed the campaign.
