Commissioning CCE support services, which is defined by the Home Office, Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE) occurs where an individual or group takes advantage of an imbalance of power to coerce, control, manipulate or deceive a child or young person under the age of 18. The victim may have been criminally exploited even if the activity appears consensual.The trauma some C&YP experience heightens vulnerability, decreasing health and social outcomes and increases their risk of exploitation and entering the Criminal Justice System (CJS).
