Barnardo’s Dudley BASE

A service that provides 1-1 therapeutic support and awareness sessions, for young people who are at medium to high risk of CSE within Dudley. The aim is to reduce the risk of vulnerable children and young people being abused through sexual exploitation, through awareness-raising work.

We can help with
Child sexual exploitation (CSE)
Child sexual exploitation (CSE) is a form of child sexual abuse. When children and young people experience sexual abuse we help them recover and rebuild their lives. We also support their family through counselling and create and deliver preventive and awareness-raising programmes.

Mental health
No child should be left to deal with poor mental health alone so we provide services supporting children and young people’s emotional health and wellbeing. We have centres where children and young people can visit and have a trained worker they can trust and talk to. We help them build their confidence and get to the root of their difficulties so they can feel safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful.
