<p>The Tackling Child Exploitation Support Programme will include support for local
safeguarding partners - the police, health and the local authority - to develop and
deliver a strategic response to extra-familial harms and child exploitation. The police
force(s) in any safeguarding partnership will be responsible for ensuring that any
intelligence gathered during safeguarding activity in that area is used to disrupt
organised crime gangs involved in grooming.</p><p>The Tackling Child Exploitation
Support Programme will not be focussing directly on individual children and young
people - it has been contracted to provide support for partners in local areas with
safeguarding responsibilities to develop their capability to provide a better safeguarding
response for children in their area. There are many organisations already providing
valuable support for direct practice with children and young people and the support
programme will signpost local partners to them.</p><p> </p>
