West Midlands Police have partnered with The Children’s Society and British Transport Police to help raise awareness of exploitation. We are working hard with our specialist teams and community partners to disrupt and prosecute criminal gangs exploiting young people.
Do you know the signs of child exploitation? Would you know where to report exploitation if you spotted the signs?
Exploitation can happen anywhere. It happens online and offline. Children are being targeted outside fast food outlets, at shopping centres, through online games, and social media. There are many types of child exploitation including money laundering, stealing from shops, transporting drugs via trains and bus routes.
Signs of child exploitation
Ask yourself, is a young person:
• Travelling alone, particularly in school hours, late at night or frequently?
• Looking lost or in unfamiliar surroundings?
• Anxious, frightened, angry or displaying other behaviours that make you worried about them?
• In possession of more than one phone?
• Carrying lots of cash?
• Potentially under the influence of drugs or alcohol?
• Being instructed or controlled by another individual?
• Accompanied by individuals who are older than them?
• Seen begging in a public space?

We are very pleased to be accepted on to the Walk to School programme again this year. Pupils in Years 1 -6 can earn badges if they travel to school sustainably once a week every month. This year the theme is the British Nature Walk. Children will register how they travelled to school each day. Park and stride is one of the options for families who need to travel by car. We ask that you park 10 minutes away from school and walk the remainder of the journey. This forms part of our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals and to

We were delighted to be asked to help at the official opening of the new Aldi store at Central Six this week. Five Earlsdon pupils joined paralympic athlete Libby Clegg to cut the ribbon. The five pupils were winners of our healthy eating poster competition. After the official opening, Libby Clegg came to Earlsdon to lead an assembly for Key Stage 2 pupils about her experiences as a gold medal winning paralympic athlete.
| We are very proud of the Year 6 children who enjoyed a four night stay at Dol y Moch in North Wales– they returned home on Tuesday. The children enjoyed a range of adventurous activities, worked collaboratively, challenged them selves and demonstrated resilience and increased independence. Thank you to the staff who accompanied Year 6 and were willing to give up their evenings and weekend to ensure our children had this amazing opportunity |
| This year for our school balcony poppy display we would like all children to have a go at making a waterproof poppy (if pos sible, using recycled materials) which will be made into a whole school wreath. This will be set as a homework task and we would love all children to get involved. We would like the children to give their finished poppy to their class teacher by Monday 16th October at the latest. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing the children’s creations |
