This is a powerful new theatre production about sexual exploitation and street grooming from the award winning team of GW Theatre Company and writer Mike Harris. This production is aimed at 14-25 year olds.
This prevention has been commissioned by Oldham Council LSCB and developed in partnership with Rochdale and Oxfordshire Councils, the Oxford Foundation and Barnardo’s and with support from ACE Awards for all.
The High Schools in Trafford were invited along with year 10+ pupils to learn about child sexual exploitation as a awareness raising exercise. Guest speakers at the event were;
- The Worshipful the Mayor of the Borough of Trafford
- Dr Sue Raynor Jacob who is the Head of Funding Policy for Victims of Rape, Human Trafficking & Homicide Ministry of Justice
