HIPS - VIRTUAL HSCP - Missing, Exploited and Trafficked Children (MET)

With a strong emphasis on multi-agency working and information sharing, this course is designed to create greater awareness of child exploitation. The course is delivered by the Willow Team across the Pan Hampshire Area. Whilst it builds upon national issues, this course will focus on what is happening in Hampshire.

What previous delegates have said about this course:

“I felt that the presenters were incredibly engaging, and I did not switch off from the training at all. Thank you so much.”

“Really interesting and informative, presented clearly by experienced and knowledgeable individuals. Great training, thank you.”

“Completing the CERAF can be confusing, and this has been covered well and therefore, I have realised the mistakes I have been making, e.g., clarity of statements. I will also share the information learnt with my team as I am aware that some of my colleagues are making the same mistakes as I have been making.”
