On 1 October 2020 Cumbria Safeguarding Children Partnership (CSCP) in partnership with the NSPCC launched a twelve-month long campaign to tackle child exploitation in Cumbria.
The 'IT'S NOT OK' campaign will have an initial focus on child criminal exploitation, before moving on to topics including healthy relationships and online safety.
The county wide campaign is being communicated through a variety of channels including PR, social media, online, print as well as via a coalition of partners. Campaign materials are aimed at a range of ages and audiences including young people, parents, carers and practitioners, with the aim to make people aware of the signs of child exploitation and how it can be reported, to help reduce child exploitation in Cumbria.
Further information and how to support and promote the campaign can be found on the CSCP website here
