The response to child criminal exploitation should be guided by the following factors:
- Prioritising the welfare of the child
- Upholding children’s and young people’s rights
- Ensuring young people are not unnecessarily criminalised
- Applying a long term, relationship-based approach
- Providing an asset and strength-based support to parents and families
- Prioritising prevention and early intervention
- Working collaboratively
- Engaging with children and young people and their families
- CCE is never acceptable, will be disrupted and adult perpetrators will be held to account
- Recognising children and young people as victims.
