This guidance provides practitioners with a starting point when thinking of how to identify and respond to child sexual exploitation. In addition, staff may find the  risk indicator matrix   (PDF) [321KB] (opens new window) a useful resource when considering the possibility of CSE. In October 2016 the Scottish Government issued an updated definition of CSE.
