'Criminal exploitation of children and vulnerable adults: county lines' guidance outlines what county lines (and associated criminal exploitation) is, signs to look for in potential victims, and what to do about it.
The document is a supplement to an organisation’s existing safeguarding policies, to help identify and protect those exploited through this criminal activity. It’s also aimed at:
- Local partners in policing
- Local authorities
- Voluntary sector
This guidance is part of the cross-government approach to ending gang violence and exploitation. Access the policy guidance here.
