Like many other councils we are working with the police and other local organisations and communities to protect all victims of child sexual exploitation (CSE) and investigate historical concerns from the public.

We have a multi-agency hub, which has been operating since January 2012, involving the police, council, NHS and voluntary organisations across Bradford district. Many agencies are co-located, working together under one roof and reacting quickly to intelligence relating to CSE. This close working makes sure risks are identified and there is fast and effective intervention.
