Campaigns
Keep Children Safe This Summer
In July 20201 St Giles launched a campaign to raise awareness of child criminal exploitation. Exploitation of children is often used to facilitate county lines drug running, whereby vulnerable children and adults are groomed and coerced into trafficking and dealing drugs on behalf of criminal gangs. Alongside drugs, other illegal economies such as human and sex trafficking are also implicated in county lines. [5]
