Importance of Intelligence and
information sharing
•
The effective identification and recording of information and intelligence in
relation to individual cases is crucial to the successful disruption and
prosecution of perpetrators. All professionals should continually gather
record and share information with the appropriate authorities.
•
Parents and carers should be encouraged and supported in identifying
perpetrators, collecting and preserving evidence (medical, forensic and
circumstantial) as well as in supporting their children through the criminal
justice process.
•
Such information can form the basis of strong intelligence and can help the
police to start an investigation.

West Midlands Police through Force-wide use of intelligence is well placed to identify:CSE hotspots in the Local Authority area as well as the wider West Midlands Metropolitan
area
Trafficking both into and out of the region
Perpetrators including those who are linked to more than one child or young person or who
operate as part of an organised network.
In addition, the local identified CSE Lead Officer and partner agencies are well placed to
identify links and trends in the sexual exploitation of children and young people at a local
level as well as cross-border issues.
These are captured and discussed at monthly CSE & Missing operations groups
