We keep the Trusted Relationships Privacy Notice under review. It was last reviewed and updated in May 2022.
City of York Council ‘Trusted Relationships’ programme aims to improve support to young people at risk of exploitation and abuse.
We provide a multi-agency collaborative approach to identify and support children and young people who are primarily at risk of or subject to Child Criminal Exploitation (including County Lines, Child Sexual Exploitation and Modern Slavery).
If you have any questions about this Privacy Notice contact the council’s Data Protection Officer.
