2/4 Key learning; 1. Children = ANY HUMAN between 0 - 18 including 16 & 17 y/olds despite them 'being legal'

2. A common misconception 'St Helena is friendly/safe so it doesn't happen here' - in fact the safer you feel sometimes the more at risk of exploitation people are #CSE

[St Helena Police Directorate @StHelenaPolice]

Important training and important advice - Child Sexual Exploitation happens everywhere including St Helena. Great 4 tweet summary from @StHelenaPO pleased to have had our #CID #communitypolice #immigration and #fire teams all attend this over the last two weeks. #cse #training
