Date: 7 Feb 2024

#LookCloser week of action which begins on Monday 4 March 2024

#LookCloser is a partnership campaign between The Children's Society, the National County Lines Co-ordination Centre and the British Transport Police aiming to raise awareness of child exploitation and abuse and to encourage the public and businesses to better identify and report concerns. The campaign also seeks to challenge assumptions and victim stereotypes, highlighting that child exploitation can happen anywhere, and any young person can be a victim.

The week of action will focus in particular on the role that everyone can play in preventing child exploitation and the importance of ensuring that young victims are effectively identified, safeguarded and supported as they transition to adulthood.
