Our Reach Out Stop Exploitation (ROSE) project has enabled a group of fourteen adults with learning disabilities to train as peer mentors. After completing their initial training the mentors deliver presentations to children, other adults with learning disabilities and health care professionals, raising awareness of sexual exploitation and how to stay safe on-line.
Each month we will hear from a different member of the project team about what they've been up to on the project.
