Delivering bespoke interventions with children and young people who are at risk of Child Criminal Exploitation, supporting them to recover and stay safe.
On this page
We work with children and young people who are at risk of Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE). We deliver bespoke support and interventions, empowering them to build resilience and aspiration, take control of their lives, and stay safe.
We also work with the parents and siblings of young people who are at risk of child criminal exploitation, and conduct awareness building workshops with professionals where required.
Catch22’s Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Child Criminal Exploitation service is an independent service. Our team are not part of social care or the police.
We have two main approaches to working with young people who are referred into our service:
If you are at risk of exploitation, our case worker will contact you and arrange to see you at a time and place you prefer and in the way you feel most comfortable. They will work with you to understand what’s been going on in your life and to explain how people can exploit you for their own benefit.
You’re not in trouble; if you’ve been groomed or exploited, it’s not your fault.
The case worker will meet with you regularly until both of you feel you are safe and happy, and you have good people around you who want the best for you. There is no set programme and no set amount of time the support will last. You are an individual and our support is tailored to your individual needs.
Yes. We have robust relationships with the Acute Trust (Accident and Emergency department) and Staffordshire Police’s Northern Area Custody Facility.
This allows us to ensure that children who are involved in youth violence, and/or those who are at risk of child criminal exploitation, are identified and supported within these environments. By providing support at these “reachable moments”, we are better able to ensure that these young people access the most appropriate services.
Yes! We deliver targeted workshops and training in professional settings – both in person or virtually.
These sessions aim to build awareness around the signs and indicators of exploitation, youth violence, knife crime, and County Lines.
For more information, please contact the team using the form below.
Catch22 can provide targeted group workshops to children across the city and county.
These sessions can cover topics relating to:
We also work closely with the Pan-Staffordshire PSHE Education service to ensure collaboration on a wider landscape related to CCE prevention education (PSHE) and the interventions delivered in local education establishments.
Sessions can be tailored to the individual needs identified within the school. All sessions are adapted to suit the needs and age range of the children. We also ensure that staff are able to manage any disclosures that may arise.

I was expecting someone to come in and say “Listen, you’ve done this, that, the other wrong and this is how we’re gonna fix it.” But honestly, it was far from what I thought. From our first conversation, I started to feel more comfortable. Catch22 has really helped and supported me. I feel loads more positive about things now.
Sam, service user
I am really pleased with the support both me and Leila have received. It has been really good for us and has made our relationship stronger and more open. [Catch22’s support] has been massive in rebuilding our relationship and keeping her safe. Thank you so much for working with us. I have my daughter back!
