Exploitation Training with St Giles Trust

We are pleased to invite you to an impactful and transformative training day organised by Cheltenham Borough Council, dedicated to addressing the pressing issues of youth violence, county lines, gangs, and child criminal exploitation (CCE). This comprehensive session will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to recognise and respond effectively to these critical challenges in our community.

Expert-Led Training: Gain insights from Junior Smart, a renowned youth leader, gangs consultant, and qualified trainer with a remarkable journey from overcoming personal challenges to achieving an OBE for his work. Junior brings firsthand experience and academic excellence, ensuring a rich learning experience.

2. Comprehensive Coverage: Delve into the dynamics of county lines and gangs, understand local and national perspectives, and explore the latest data and trends. Learn about the grooming process, debt bondage, and the structure and hierarchy within these groups.

3. Focus on Vulnerable Groups: Understand the unique challenges faced by girls involved in these activities, the impact of mental health, and the role of social media. Gain practical strategies for supporting affected individuals and their families.

4. Practical Interventions: Discover a range of interventions designed to disrupt and hinder group activities. Learn how to work proactively with young people, overcome barriers to supporting vulnerable groups, and connect with existing services for comprehensive support.
