Parents and carers who would like to understand more about county lines drug dealing are being invited to attend two free interactive webinars. These will explain what criminal exploitation – including county lines – is, and what is happening in the local area.
They will also cover how offenders groom and exploit children; help people spot signs that a child might be at risk; and explain where to get advice and support. The interactive sessions will also enable participants to ask questions, share concerns and connect with others.
Speakers include Lindsey Dalton, the CEO of Pace – a national charity supporting families affected by child exploitation; Duncan Evans who works at the National County Lines Co-ordination Centre; and Sarah Pritchard, a social worker at Barnardo’s children’s charity.
The webinars will be hosted live over Zoom on Wednesday 1 February from 7-8:30pm and again on 8 February. You can register your interest in the event via Eventbrite.
