Louise Casey, head of the Troubled Families Programme, interviewed 16 troubled families for this report that starkly describes the problems families face. The primary purpose of carrying out the interviews was to listen directly to families about their lives, the problems they have experienced and caused and to begin to understand the sort of help that will enable them to really change.

Following the disorder in August across cities in England, the Prime Minister asked the Home Secretary to lead a review, alongside the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, into the growing problem of gangs and gang violence.
The report looks into the scale of the problem of gang and youth violence, analyses its causes, and identifies what can be done by government and other agencies to stop the violence and to turn around the lives of those involved.
As part of the Say Something if you See Something Campaign, Sheffield Safeguarding Children’s Board have developed a leaflet designed for staff in licensed premises. The leaflet explains the responsibilities of working in the licensing trade, what child sexual exploitation is, how to train staff in recognising and dealing appropriately with CSE concerns and what to do once concerns have been raised.
SSCB are happy to share this leaflet but do wish to be acknowledged

We are pleased to share with you the survey compiled by both Camille and Stephanie over the past few months. It gives some indication of how many young people and parents the NWG specialist projects work with, it makes interesting reading and we thank everyone who took part in the process enabling us to pull together this information. Please feel free to utilise this to support funding applications, partnership work, the negotiation for keeping services going in times of budget restraints, extending services to reach more young people or in whatever arena will assist you to support and inform professionals about child sexual exploitation. Once again thank you to all those who contributed. I look forward to hearing how it has been useful to you as members.

This information booklet has been produced to enable those interested to find out more about the diversity of the organisation, and the breadth of the work carried out by and within the Project. We have found over the years that if someone, either a young woman or a worker, is involved with the Project in a particular group or for a specific issue, then they tend to think that that is the only, or the main, focus of the work of the organisation. They are often quite surprised that there are other dimensions to the work.(GYWOP)

The national action plan for tackling child sexual exploitation (CSE) brought together actions by the Government and a range of national and local partners. The action plan looks at CSE from the perspective of the child. It highlights areas where more needs to be done, and sets out specific action that the Government, local agencies, and voluntary and community sector partners need to take, to address this abuse.
On 3 July 2012, the Government issued the first report on progress, along with a new step-by-step guide on what frontline practitioners should do if they suspect a child is being sexually exploited. The guide complements, and should be read in conjunction with, the Safeguarding children and young people from sexual exploitation statutory guidance, published in 2009.
