A new Child and Adult Exploitation leaflet has been developed to help raise awareness and understanding of exploitation among non-professionals. The leaflet provides essential guidance on recognising and responding to exploitation – a serious form of abuse that can affect both children and adults. It highlights the key warning signs, types of exploitation, and how to report concerns safely.

We’re encouraging Parish Councils to share this important resource across their communities and networks to help ensure exploitation is identified early and addressed appropriately. You can download and read the leaflet on the Herefordshire Safeguarding Boards and Partnerships website.
