Overview
County lines exploitation can involve far more than drug dealing. Behind the warning signs, children and vulnerable adults may be experiencing grooming, manipulation, threats, or coercion without recognising they are being exploited.
The County Lines Awareness course explores how criminal networks operate, how child criminal exploitation develops, and how to recognise potential signs of grooming, missing episodes, unexplained money, and cuckooing. You’ll learn why some individuals may be vulnerable to exploitation and how these experiences can affect their safety and wellbeing.
You’ll also explore UK safeguarding responsibilities, responding to disclosures, reporting concerns, and working with relevant professionals to protect those at risk. Whether you work in education, youth services, healthcare, social care, housing, or community support, this course will help you develop practical awareness of county lines and responsible approaches to safeguarding.
Recognise the signs, understand the risks, and learn how to respond. Build your county lines awareness and strengthen your understanding of criminal exploitation and safeguarding.
