- Summary
- At the start of 2011, we launched our Cut them free campaign to call on the Government and local authorities to take action to protect vulnerable young people and children. Our calls for action were published in Puppet on a string. The year since has seen much greater policy and public attention to sexual exploitation. This report sets out the progress and, drawing on a survey of our services across the UK, focuses on what is still needed if young people are to be better protected and supported. Progress in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales is outlined and the report considers in further detail how far our campaign calls have been met in England, following on from Puppet on a string.
