The Isle of Man Constabulary will be publishing a series of important messages to recognise National Child Exploitation Awareness Day (March 18).
Throughout the week the messages from the police force will highlight and encourage everyone to think, spot and speak out against abuse.
National Child Exploitation Awareness Day
The Constabulary says that Child Exploitation can happen to any child or young person under the age of 18, anywhere, including the Isle of Man.
The attached video from the constabulary has been created to assist families to Spot the signs of Child Exploitation, with thanks to Leicestershire Police:
Child Exploitation has a massive impact on the quality of life of the child, their family and their future.
If you have any concerns about any young person speak out against child exploitation.
