An abuser may manipulate the person to think that they are their friend, or
even a boyfriend or girlfriend. But they will put them into dangerous
situations, forcing them to do things they don’t want to do. The abuser
may physically or verbally threaten the person or be violent towards them.
They will control and manipulate them, and try to isolate them from

As you introduce this training it is wise to make people aware that they may find this quite emotive, and that on hearing the information it may bring things to their attention; things that may have happened to them or people they know.
It’s wise to let people know that they can leave the training if they need to, and who they can speak with if they have any concerns; this may be their manager, an experienced colleague, employee assist services, or they may wish to call the local services listed on the power point.
Training in Solihull aims to raise awareness and empower local organizations and employees to combat exploitation and human trafficking. By identifying signs and acting as eyes and ears in the community, we can protect vulnerable individuals and businesses from various forms of abuse.

Exploitation training for hospitality venues in Solihull
In Solihull, we believe that local organisations & employees can play a positive role in preventing Exploitation and human trafficking, which puts children and adults (and your organisation/place of work) at risk! Your organisation can specifically form a crucial part of the fight against these issues and be the eyes and ears of the community, providing potentially important information to authorities. By working together we can play a positive role in protecting children, vulnerable adults and local businesses.
Exploitation is a form of abuse where someone is groomed, then forced or made to do things for the benefit of others. An abuser may manipulate the person to think that they are their friend, or even a boyfriend or girlfriend.

They will control and manipulate them, and try to isolate them from friends and family. Sexual Exploitation Modern Slavery Criminal Exploitation Trafficking
