All Age Exploitation Strategy

What is the All-Age Exploitation Strategy (AAES)?

Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, Halton and Warrington Safeguarding Adults Boards, Safeguarding Children Partnership’s and the four area Community Safety Partnerships are committed to protecting children, young people and adults from exploitation.

Regardless of the type of exploitation, children, their families and adults at risk have a right to be safeguarded. It is vital that there is collaboration across statutory, private, voluntary and charitable organisations with a clear plan and objectives on how services will work together to support those at risk.

The purpose of the AAES is to:

• Identify a joint vision for all key partners and stakeholders
• Provide the basis for identifying our key Pan-Cheshire joint objectives and commitments over the coming three years
• Clarifying our agreed adopted definitions
• Secure and sustain a collective commitment to addressing and responding to all 17 types of exploitation across all Cheshire Local Authorities and Partnerships in line with the most recent guidance and legislation.
