Help us end criminal exploitation of children in Leicestershire and Rutland

Alert message sent 20/11/2020 15:02:00

Information sent on behalf of Leicestershire Police

Children as young as nine years old are being manipulated and coerced by criminals to commit crimes.

We have recently launched a new film called "Are You Listening" to help you spot the signs of criminals exploiting children.

The film is designed for adults such as parents, grandparents or other family members, and other trusted adults including teachers and sports coaches. You can watch the film on our website, or search "Leicestershire Police Are You Listening".

Children don't always see themselves as victims and often won't speak up if they're in trouble. Look out changes in normal behaviour, increased messages or calls, having new belongings that can’t be accounted for and regular absence from school, groups or clubs.

You can help protect children in Leicestershire, Rutland and beyond. Send this e-mail to friends or family you think may need to know about this issue.

If you're concerned or have information about a child, please act immediately. You can phone us on 101 report online on our website.

Thank you for your support.
Leicestershire Police
