Current figures show 227 open cases of CSE in Sandwell this includes Low, Med and High risk. We only flags cases risk rated Medium and High, which accounts for 29 cases. Please check the alert system which can be viewed on Patient First, CDA, Lorenzo and SystmOne as part of your assessment.

We have a CSE champion in ED who covers cross site City and Sandwell and will support in delivering key findings and supports staff within ED. The CSE screening tool supports practitioners to make an assessment of vulnerable young victims and supports making a Multi-Agency Referral (MARF) -Sandwell/Request for Support Birmingham children at risk CSE.

Recent audits have shown that there has been an improved response in activity with staff contacting Children Social Care.
