This project will undertake a collaborative knowledge exchange between the Centre for Child Protection (CCP) and Kent Police (KP). They will create, apply, and evaluate a pilot training tool to support police officers in applying a trauma informed approach (TIA) to work with girls who have experience of child sexual exploitation (CSE). Training simulations are used to enhance the facilitation of learning and are valuable in developing practice wisdom through immersive and more readily retained 'experiences.' They allow participants a safe setting to practice complex or challenging risk-taking and decision-making experiences - such as decisions made when confronted with CSE of girls, which is a subcategory of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). CSE is when a child is taken advantage of by an imbalance of power to coerce, manipulate or deceive them into sexual activity. This often involves an exchange for something the young person wants or needs or it may be for the advantage of the perpetrator. Girls who have a lived experience of CSE require a TIA from professionals. This includes an understanding of how trauma is manifested through the young person's beliefs, feelings, and behaviours - to ensure they are not retraumatised and that they feel able to engage with services to disrupt exploitation. There are indications that police are not trained in TIAs and girls who have experienced CSE may experience police as blaming and insensitive. The creation of this pilot training tool will be undertaken in 3 separate work packages (WP). The first WP is being funded by the University of Kent's Impact Fund. In summary, this package will involve a literature review and professional knowledge exchange between KP and CCP. These undertakings will explore current knowledge and expertise around good practice, what works and challenges to TIA to police-support with girls who have lived experiences of CSE. The second WP is the basis of this proposal to the ESRC and involves three key phases. The first phase (October 2022-January 2023) is a 'collaborative design' between CCP and KP via the facilitation of 3 workshops aimed at sharing knowledge to create a package of key developmental outputs to inform the creation of the pilot training simulation (e.g., learning outcomes, key narrative, effective interactive elements, character design & sketches, a script and training strategies). The second phase (February 2023-May 2023) is the actual creation of the pilot training tool via Articulate Software as well as the creation of complementary training materials (e.g., instructions, refined learning outcomes, activities, worksheets, academic overview of essential concepts) which will continue to be developed in partnership between CCP and KP. The third phase (June 2023-September 2023) will include application of the training pilot. KP and CCP will co-facilitate 6-8 training sessions with around 10-15 KP delegates each (approximately 60-120 delegates). Evaluations following training will be collected and analysed to inform adaptations to the pilot training tool and training regime - with the aim of improving the training experience and impact of facilitating a stronger TIA by police. The third WP includes dissemination of findings (e.g., journal publication, webinars, conference attendance) as well as ongoing use of the pilot training tool by KP and CCP. KP will continue to utilise the tool to train officers in TIA and CCP will integrate the tool within their multi-disciplinary postgraduate teaching programmes on 'Advanced Child Protection.' WP3 also includes visions for future funding potential to create a full-scale simulation from the pilot training tool.Findings will contribution to tackling VAWG by supporting police to develop a TIA to support with girls who have a lived experience of CSE. It will also contribute to developing knowledge on the facilitation of learning and application of TIA within child protection settings.

该项目将在儿童保护中心（CCP）和肯特警方（KP）之间开展合作知识交流。他们将创建、应用和评估一个试点培训工具，以支持警察采用创伤知情方法（TIA）与遭受儿童性剥削的女孩一起工作。训练模拟用于提高学习的便利性，并且通过沉浸式和更容易保留的“经验”，在开发实践智慧方面很有价值。它们为参与者提供了一个安全的环境，使他们能够进行复杂或具有挑战性的冒险和决策体验，例如在面对女孩的CSE时做出决定，这是暴力侵害妇女和女孩行为的一个子类。全面性性教育是指儿童因权力不平衡而被利用，强迫、操纵或欺骗他们进行性行为。这通常涉及交换年轻人想要或需要的东西，或者可能是为了犯罪者的利益。有CSE生活经历的女孩需要专业人士的TIA。这包括了解创伤是如何通过年轻人的信仰、感受和行为表现出来的，以确保他们不会再次受到创伤，并确保他们能够参与破坏剥削的服务。有迹象表明，警察没有接受过TIAs方面的培训，经历过CSE的女孩可能会觉得警察在指责和麻木不识。该试点培训工具的创建将在3个单独的工作包中进行。第一个项目由肯特大学影响基金资助。总之，这一揽子计划将包括KP和CCP之间的文献综述和专业知识交流。这些项目将探索当前关于良好实践的知识和专业知识，以及TIA在为有过CSE经历的女孩提供警察支持方面的工作和挑战。第二个工作计划是向ESRC提出建议的基础，涉及三个关键阶段。第一阶段（2022年10月至2023年1月）是CCP和KP之间的“协作设计”，通过促进3个研讨会，旨在共享知识，创建一揽子关键发展产出，为试点培训模拟的创建提供信息（例如，学习成果、关键叙述、有效互动元素、角色设计和草图、脚本和培训策略）。第二阶段（2023年2月至2023年5月）是通过articarticsoftware实际创建试点培训工具，以及创建补充培训材料（例如，指导、精炼的学习成果、活动、工作表、基本概念的学术概述），这些材料将继续由CCP和KP合作开发。第三阶段（2023年6月至2023年9月）将包括培训试点的申请。KP和CCP将共同举办6-8次培训课程，各有大约10-15名KP代表（约60-120名代表）。培训后的评估将被收集和分析，以适应试点培训工具和培训制度，目的是改善培训经验和影响，促进警察更强大的TIA。第三个工作计划包括传播调查结果（例如，期刊出版、网络研讨会、出席会议）以及KP和CCP继续使用试点培训工具。KP会继续利用该工具培训TIA人员，而CCP会将该工具纳入其“高级儿童保护”的多学科研究生教学课程。WP3还包括对未来资金潜力的展望，以利用飞行员培训工具创建全面模拟。调查结果将有助于通过支持警方开发TIA来支持有CSE生活经历的女孩，从而解决VAWG问题。它还将有助于发展关于在儿童保护环境中促进学习和应用TIA的知识。
