LookCloser is a partnership campaign between The Children's Society, the National County Lines Co-ordination Centre and the British Transport Police aiming to raise awareness of child exploitation and abuse and to encourage the public and businesses to better identify and report concerns. The campaign also seeks to challenge assumptions and victim stereotypes, highlighting that child exploitation can happen anywhere, and any young person can be a victim.
In response to increasing demand and to make sessions more accessible to some audiences, a new Programme of Learning will now include events taking place all year round.
You can sign up for free events taking place via. Teams between September and December 2023. New events scheduled for 2024 will be added in due course and circulated in the coming months.
There will also be a #LookCloser campaign week of action which begins Monday 9th October 2023.
You can find the full programme details, Teams links, and event dates here: #LookCloser Programme of Learning.
