Implementation and impact of the Practice Principles for responding to child exploitation and extra-familial harm

Abstract

The eight Practice Principles set out an approach for responding to child exploitation and extra-familial harm, aiming to support and align multi-agency responses. Developed by the Tackling Child Exploitation (TCE) Support Programme1 the Principles are evidence-informed2, offering a way to navigate a complex landscape, focusing on behaviours and cultures at all levels. Interrelated and interdependent, they are designed to complement and support existing guidance and local working arrangements.
