MACE team visit
06 February 2023
DCI Rachel Bell & DS Kerrie Atkin from the MACE (Multi-Agency Child Exploitation) team, were welcome guests this morning. The MACE team’s work focuses on identifying those at risk of becoming subject to exploitation, and putting in place intervention and support for individuals, families and the wider community. The team works to raise awareness of the threat of child exploitation, providing training and advice to front-line professionals on recognising the signs and understanding referral processes. It was a very interesting & worthwhile conversation around roles, processes & procedures, & best practice. We all agree that the relationship between our Rose Project and the MACE team is incredibly important; partnership working is key, & we will be looking at ways to further this.
