It comes as SecEd has published an in-depth article looking at the challenges for schools surrounding this issue and how teachers and school staff can help spot the signs of children at risk. Read this article here.
The action plan sets out what it calls “urgent practical steps” to build intelligence and identify children at risk of abuse.
It proposes stronger training and information for social workers, police and other practitioners working with children. It also wants to see closer engagement with local communities and churches to prevent abuse.
The strategy has been put together by a working group including faith leaders, charities such as the Victoria Climbié Foundation, and the Metropolitan Police.
