The Hub and Spoke programme is developing voluntary sector CSE provision at a time when both the nature of the issues being addressed, and the means of addressing them, change shape within a new funding and commissioning environment. As the local service landscape becomes ever more complex, Hub and Spoke relationships with local police forces and other lead agencies increase in importance and underline the value that the voluntary sector can bring to this work. The Hub and Spoke interim findings report begins to define that contribution.

The NSPCC has published a report highlighting what children and young people are telling ChildLine about their expectations and experiences of receiving therapeutic services following sexual abuse. It also looks at contacts to the NSPCC helpline from adults concerned about child sexual abuse.
This evidence scope is not a systematic review, accordingly, the quality of each study or report was not assessed. However, it draws largely on published research, prioritising peer-reviewed literature where possible, and uses credible sources for policy literature and other sources of information. The literature used is largely recent, and, if not, then of enduring importance

We have been researching the sexual exploitation of both adults and children in the North East and Cumbria since 2006. The studies have been commissioned by Northern Rock Foundation’s Safety and Justice for Victims of Abuse Programme and included studies in County Durham, Cleveland, Cumbria and Northumbria Police Force Areas. Their objective was to identify the characteristics and examine the extent of exploitation and also included research into adult exploitation. The findings from the studies served a number of purposes including supporting the Foundation’s Safety and Justice grant programme, informing local statutory policy and services and ultimately attempting to improve awareness of and provision for exploited children and adults.

Also looks at the provision of therapeutic services and outlines what needs to change, including better investment and improving the evidence base around therapeutic support for abused and neglected children.
