Overview
This course will explore and give you a greater understanding of county lines, the connection between county lines and gangs, exploitation within county lines, who is at risk and the indictors that a child may be the victim of county lines.
At the heart of this programme is the aim that professionals gain a deeper understanding of what county lines is, the abuse that takes place within this space, and be alert to the dangers. The programme will cover some of the theories that underpin county lines, including contextual safeguarding, street capital and social fields theory, so that we can really have a holistic understanding of what children and young people are facing on a daily basis, and consider how best to help them.
The course is divided into 12 lessons with tools, animations, videos and downloadable resources. You will have access to the course for 12 months from when you sign up, including all the resources and tools from the Strengthening Practice collection. Each page is narrated.
