County lines, criminal exploitation and cuckooing part one: Greater Manchester's learning

Kate Kayley, Learning and Development Officer at Research in Practice for Adults, speaks to Greater Manchester’s Complex Safeguarding lead Jayne Horan and Detective Sergeant Deborah Hurst of Programme Challenger in the Modern Slavery Unit. Relevant to both rural and urban areas, they discuss definitions of cuckooing, criminal exploitation and county lines in the context of what the issues look like in Greater Manchester. They consider what the harm can look like to young people and adults who are exploited, how to see those who are exploited as victims and not just perpetrators, and begin to outline the system-wide shifts needed to tackle exploitation and offer support. This Podcast is the first in a two part series.
