County lines and cuckooing are terms used to describe ways in which vulnerable people in communities may be exploited. All of us in local communities can play a part in helping to keep other people safe as we are well placed to identify safeguarding concerns but it is important to know the signs to look out for and what to do if you suspect a vulnerable person is being exploited in this way.
This introductory session aims to explain what county lines and cuckooing are, recognise risks to people and determine action to take if you believe someone is being exploited in this way.
Throughout your time learning with us, you will also have developed a whole range of skills that can be transferred from your course to a working environment, your home life or your own personal development.
Skills such as time management, organisation, research skills, networking and presenting ideas are all part of your learning journey along with decision making, problem solving and overcoming obstacles. All these skills will help you to become a confident, self-motivated person and will assist you on your chosen pathway.
