A mixed method evaluation of the Safe Accommodation Project, piloting the use of specialist foster placements for young people at risk, or victims, of sexual exploitation and trafficking.

The findings highlight that warm, trusting relationships are central to creating stable placements. Placements are supported by a team sharing a common safeguarding approach, have the potential to be cost effective, and appear to be meeting a need amongst young people at risk, or victims, of child sexual exploitation and trafficking.
