How police are stepping up to protect children

About this episode

In 2026, police forces are adopting more integrated and proactive strategies to safeguard children, moving beyond traditional reactive enforcement to focus on early intervention and cross-agency collaboration. In regions like Greater Manchester, specialist child protection officers now sit alongside social workers and health professionals in central hubs. This allows for immediate information sharing and coordinated action during emergencies, such as rescuing children from exploitation in hotels.
