Real Voices: Are They Being Heard?

Ann Coffey MP has published a report looking at child sexual exploitation in the Greater Manchester area. Figures from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) show: there were 714 recorded sexual offences that were flagged for child sexual exploitation (CSE) in 2016, compared with 146 in 2013; and a survey of 2,452 Year 10 children in the area found that 12% of 14-year-olds reported sending a sext message or image, while 22% said they had received one.
