Barnardo's Safeguarding and Exploitation Team (BEST) Glasgow

Barnardo's Safeguarding and Exploitation Team (BEST) Glasgow aims to support children and young people aged 18 years and under to identify risk and devise strategies to minimise harm, particularly in relation to exploitation. 2 key aspects of this service are ensuring that we have a collaborative approach in working with agencies/referrers in supporting young people at risk and promoting the voice of children and young people by supporting them to engage and participate in the care planning and review processes.

Child sexual exploitation (CSE) is a form of child sexual abuse. When children and young people experience sexual abuse we help them recover and rebuild their lives. We also support their family through counselling and create and deliver preventive and awareness-raising programmes.
