🗓️ Knowsley’s Shield team is working with partners across the borough to mark National Child Exploitation Awareness Day on 18 March, which also includes a Week of Action starting on Monday 16 March.

📢 Throughout the week, the Shield team will be raising awareness of child s*xual and criminal exploitation as well as encouraging everyone to think, identify and speak out to help to keep children and young people safe from exploitation.

❗ Sometimes young people can become vulnerable to exploitation because of “push and pull factors” in their lives. Push factors include feeling lonely, difficulties and home, struggling at school or going missing from school. Pull factors include being offered gifts, promising friendship or attention and offering a sense of belonging.

❗By knowing about the push and pull factors, it will help families, professionals and communities recognise when a young person may need help and support.

📞If you have concerns about a child or young person in Knowsley, contact Knowsley’s Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub on 0151 443 2600.

Are Crohn’s or Colitis symptoms affecting your s*x life?

See our information for practical things you can try to help using the link below: https://ow.ly/2ZMc50Yp3Fw



Image description: A graphic featuring a quote from Phoebe, who lives with Colitis and says: "I was self-conscious about physical symptoms such as being gassy or bloated. I was paranoid about having an accident or not being clean enough. I found the best thing to do was to be honest about how I was feeling so that my partner understood."
