Responding To the Complex Issues of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children in Child Welfare

This webinar will provide an overview of current issues, challenges, and emerging practices facing child welfare jurisdictions across the country as it relates to children who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation. Representatives from San Diego, CA and the state of Rhode Island will discuss how their agency/jurisdiction identifies, intervenes, addresses safety, and works to prevent CSEC. Law enforcement will also provide a valuable perspective that focuses on cross system collaboration for identification and treatment of CSEC, as well as victim advocacy.
