When Chantelle was given alcohol from Jon, she thought it was free. When Jon called in the debt and Chantelle couldn’t pay, Jon offered Chantelle a way to pay off the debt by delivering a package 50 miles away. Not paying wasn’t an option.

• Understand how debt bo***ge can happen.
• Spot the signs of debt bo***ge.
• Learn how you can help your child.

📚Read our new blog post by Stuart Piper Cert Ed. MA, our Head of Strategic Partnerships: “Without the Perpetrator There Is No Exploitation: Re-centring Responsibility in Child Exploitation”

“Children do not choose to be abused. Adults choose to abuse. This is a foundational principle in safeguarding policy and practice. Child exploitation, whether sexual or criminal, does not occur because a child is vulnerable. It occurs because a perpetrator makes a deliberate decision to exploit. This distinction matters.”

Hanging out, or being targeted?

For Zara, both things were true.

She was hanging out with who she thought was a friend, but this adult specifically targeted her because she was a child who he could control for his own gains.

By understanding how children are being groomed, and the tactics that are used to control them, we can see where an exploited child might be hidden Beyond the Behaviour.

Beyond the Behaviour campaign is running across Teesside and Hartlepool this summer. Beyond The Behaviour invites members of the public to think about whether children and young people they are seeing in their local area could be at risk of harm.
