Safeguarding Children from County Lines Exploitation
TUESDAY 27th JANUARY 2026
VIRTUAL, Online
The issues surrounding county lines exploitation remain high on the Government agenda, with The Crime and Policing Bill looks set to introduce new laws which will help to tackle the problem. The proposals would make it a criminal offence to use a child to commit criminal activity, as well as the introduction of new child criminal exploitation prevention orders.
Join us for an essential one-day conference dedicated to Safeguarding Children from County Lines Exploitation, designed for professionals working on the frontline of child protection. As County Lines operations continue to evolve and target vulnerable children, it's more important than ever to equip staff with the knowledge, tools, and strategies needed to combat this growing threat. Through a combination of expert-led presentations and real-life case studies, this conference will empower safeguarding professionals to identify risk factors, intervene early, and work collaboratively to prevent child exploitation.
