Reducing the risk: Barnardo's support for sexually exploited young people.

A two-year evaluation

Barnardo's has been involved in sexual exploitation work since 1995 and has sought both to influence policy and practice, and to develop effective inter-agency approaches to service provision for young people. Over the past decade, considerable success has been achieved in raising public, political and professional awareness of sexual exploitation, and in redefining the issue as one of child abuse rather than juvenile prostitution. Over the same period, Barnardo's has developed a range of services across the UK to meet the needs of young people involved in, or at risk of exploitation. This is an evaluation of 10 such services.
