Community safety

The Safer Devon Partnership has developed an online toolkit to tackle the threat of exploitation. This toolkit will help frontline workers learn about, identify and report exploitation happening in Devon and the surrounding area.

The toolkit can be accessed at preventingexploitationtoolkit.org.uk. The toolkit is designed for anyone who, through their paid or voluntary work, may encounter people who are vulnerable to exploitation.

The toolkit will help people to:

• gain an understanding of exploitation happening in their local area
• gain an understanding of the factors that can make people vulnerable to exploitation
• identify signs of exploitation
• report concerns that someone is being exploited
• receive guidance and support about working with people who are vulnerable to exploitation
• advance their personal development through gaining a greater understanding of exploitation
