About CROP
The Coalition for the Removal of Pimping (CROP) is a national charity working with parents to end the sexual exploitation of children and young people by pimps and traffickers. We work with parents:
- To help their children break free from their abusers.
- To enable them to become equal partners with helping agencies.
- To work collectively with and offer mutual support to other parents.
- To challenge inaccurate stereotyping of girls and women experiencing sexual exploitation.
- To highlight the need for effective legislation and for its implementation.
- To raise awareness of the operation of pimps, pimping networks and trafficking of British children in Britain.
- To disrupt and convict the activities of pimps and traffickers.
Support to parents affected by CSE in Blackburn
The project will work in partnership with Engage, the child sexual exploitation (CSE) multi-agency team in Blackburn:
- To ensure that the specific needs and role of parents is included in tackling CSE crime.
- To provide specialist support to parents marginalised by the sexual exploitation of their child.
- To support and train professionals to understand and recognise the signs of sexual grooming, thereby enabling increased identification and better provision for affected families in the long-term.
50 – 70 parents, around 45 families affected by CSE will be supported.
3 training sessions will be given, with 50 professionals trained.
