Child Criminal Exploitation: What Schools Need to Know
About this episode:
When a child is involved in crime, are we seeing an offender or a child being exploited? Sam and Sara explore child criminal exploitation, changes introduced by the Crime and Policing Act 2026, and the implications for schools. From recognising warning signs to challenging victim-blaming language, they explain why looking beyond the behaviour is so important.
