Leadership and strategy “critical to tackling child sexual exploitation and abuse”.

The government is yet to deliver on three major elements of its child sexual exploitation (CSE) strategy more than a year after it was unveiled, it has emerged.

Reporting on this failure, the website Children and Youth People Now (CYP Now) said the strategy, which was launched by Prime Minister David Cameron in March 2015, contained a raft of measures to tackle child sexual exploitation in the wake of revelations that 1,400 children in Rotherham had been sexually exploited between 1997 and 2013.
