KMCCYP-153 Support to Victims of Historic CSE

To support the transitional phase of providing support to women who have experienced non-recent sexual exploitation. At present there are a number of known women who could be supported by the Women Centre now if they had capacity to meet all these requests. The "CSE Gold Group" has authorised funding through Children's Services to ensure that this demand is responded to before the more permanent model for funding this work is established. Given the nature of the experiences of these women these relationships have not been easy to establish, often taking many months. The trust developed with the workers is initially on an individual basis which at a later date can developed in a willingness to work with other agencies. There is a momentum that has been developed by the Women Centre which is important to maintain and the proposal outlined enables this to be maintained whilst the longer term arrangement is established.
