TOOLKIT- Diagnostic Toolkit for Exploited Children

Written By Rachael Bishop

Ending Coercive Offending (ECO) has introduced a Diagnostic Toolkit for exploited children in England. The toolkit is intended for professionals in policing, youth justice, children’s social care, education and inclusion, and strategic partnerships. It offers a structured, evidence-based framework to identify gaps between policy and frontline practice. Grounded in children’s rights, intersectional analysis, and multi-agency approaches, the toolkit helps local areas to:

  • Assess how exploited children are currently identified and supported;

  • Review decision-making across safeguarding and justice systems;

  • Develop local strategies to prevent the criminalisation of exploited children.
