The Children’s Society in collaboration with the National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC) provides the 2017 Toolkit for Criminal Exploitation in Relation to ‘County Lines’ aimed at stakeholders that are working with children and young people who have been trafficked for the purpose of criminal exploitation in relation to ‘County Lines’.
The term ‘county lines’ is used as a term to describe the situation where children or young people are trafficked between counties for the purpose of criminal exploitation. The toolkit provides a framework of best practice in this sector and sets out suggestions as to support the young people who are at risk.
