Information for businesses toolkit

As part of the child sexual exploitation awareness campaign 'could you spot the signs?', materials have been developed for licensing and police officers to distribute to hotels, pubs, clubs and taxis. They have been developed to raise awareness of the signs of child sexual exploitation and who to contact should there be any concerns.
This 'toolkit' has been developed for officers to:

• distribute to existing licensed premises

• send with new applications

• use in training sessions

• add to websites
