The Something's Not Right awareness raising campaign helps business owners and their employees identify potential victims of CSE, and where necessary alert the team to intervene prior to any young person coming to harm.

Businesses such as hotels, licensed premises and taxi companies in Warwickshire also have access to awareness-raising training to recognise the signs of CSE, which directs them to call police if they suspect suspicious behaviour or activity on their premises or in their vehicles. Our call handlers have received specialist training to identify calls relating to CSE and provide the appropriate advice and police response.

The Warwickshire Barnardo's CSE Project Workers have so far trained:

• over 16000 licensed taxi drivers across the county and training is now mandatory for all drivers
• 150 people working in licensed premises across the county, including bar and door staff 
• Nearly 200 hotel staff at their open access events as well as at the hotels directly
