Beacon Victim Care
Helping victims and witnesses in Hertfordshire to cope and recover from the impact of crime.
Our manifesto outlines “22 ways to build resilience and aspiration in people and communities” across five key areas. Download your copy.
DismissWe provide support for young people, professionals, parents, and carers, with the aim of preventing or stopping child exploitation and missing incidents.
On this page
Missing from home or care services identify reasons for young people running away and provide support. Our services also prevent or stop child exploitation, raise awareness amongst young people and provide training for professionals, parents and carers.
We are responsive to the needs of each young person and, having listened to their story, we build trusting relationships and tailor our support to meet their individual needs. This may include return home interviews, screening and assessments, and interventions which enable young people to recognise and reflect upon the causes, signs and symptoms of child exploitation (including sexual exploitation and criminal exploitation). Working closely with a range of partner agencies including Police and children’s social care ensures we can respond quickly in an integrated manner.
Services are listed alphabetically.
