What we do
Barnardo’s RISE has Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) Advisors working alongside Police Scotland. CSE Advisors support police and partner agencies to identify, protect and support children and young people who have experienced CSE or who are at risk of being exploited. RISE aims to support the development of systems to be both perpetrator
focused and child/victim centred.
