CSE Aware Publishes New Accessible Resource

In May 2025, CSE Aware published the first Easy to Read Accessible Resource, and an accompanying video resource,  on commercial sexual exploitation. This resource aims to inform people who want to find out more about commercial sexual exploitation (CSE), the power dynamics involved, and signposts access to support.

The resource outlines CSE, its related activities, dynamics, and risks, while highlighting women’s rights by stressing the importance of consent and challenging the stigmatisation of women experiencing CSE. CSE Aware collaborated with the SCLD to produce this resource, along with People First and the Central Advocacy Group. The latter two organisations facilitated workshops with women with learning disabilities to provide feedback on the resource's accessibility.

It’s aim is to assist women with learning disabilities and those in frontline services who want to find out more about or suspect they may be affected by CSE. The resource can also be useful for anybody that is new to the topic or for women who do not use English as their first language.
