The service is provided by Catch 22, a national charity with many years of specialist experience in the provision of exploitation services.STEPS supports young people who are at risk of, or already impacted by, criminal and sexual exploitation by offering both individual and group support. STEPS’ Awareness and Prevention service also includes awareness sessions for professionals, children, parents, and carers around grooming and exploitation, including how to spot signs, stay safe, and build the confidence to make informed decisions.Registered charity 1124127 We're sorry but <%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.title %> doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled.
