County Lines
This is a very serious crime which occurs daily across the whole country. Gang members groom and exploit children for financial gain. This sadly usually involves drugs.
It is very important that you as a parent can notice the indicators that your child could be at risk;
New clothes, accessories or mobile phones, withdrawing or having sudden changes in personality, behaviour or the language they use, being isolated from peers or social networks
These are only some of the indicators; for more information please use the link provided below. As always if you have any concerns please contact us or the local authority.
