Bradford to get £1m boost to fight grooming

Bradford is to receive £1 million of government funding in a bid to tackle child sexual exploitation and grooming.

The money will go towards a four-year project aimed at 10 to 14-year-olds, teaching them how to avoid situations where it is likely they may be abused, whilst learning how to identify positive relationships.

Anti-exploitation workshops and programmes targeted at parents to help raise awareness of the risk of child sexual exploitation will also be funded.
