Safeguarding Children who may be affected by gang activity

As well as threats to the welfare of children from within their families, children may be vulnerable to abuse or exploitation outside of the family.  Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018 highlights the importance of practitioners having awareness of the additional vulnerabilities for children and young people who may be affected by gang activity.  See NSPCC guidance.
