To understand the extent of the problem, myself and my team analysed the factors that made these children vulnerable and focused on targeting hotels, identified by intelligence, to establish what was enabling this Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) to take place. A multi-faceted response was implemented to safeguard the vulnerable victims using education, Child Abduction Warning Notices, and partner agency inputs. We targeted hotels using “S116 NOTICES”, which can be served when the police reasonably believe that a hotel has been, or will be, used for the purpose of CSE. The notice allows police officers to quickly obtain information relating to hotel guests, within a certain time period, and proved invaluable in enabling us to respond to information quickly and effectively.
