The Metropolitan Police has published a child protection leaflet aimed specifically at the Jewish community just two weeks after Ofsted pinpointed safeguarding failures at prominent north London school JFS.
The leaflet, ‘The London Child Exploitation Operating Protocol’, was created in conjunction with PaJeS, the Jewish Leadership Council’s schools network.
Targeted at parents, teachers and the wider community, it identifies various forms of child exploitation and sets out what to do when evidence of any type of abuse is suspected or discovered.
The protocol covers all the main areas of child exploitation, including drug dealing, sexual imagery produced by youths and identified in schools, peer-on-peer abuse, online abuse and child trafficking.
