POLITICAL leaders across Greater Manchester have joined forces to demonstrate their commitment to combating the sexual exploitation of children
All 10 council leaders have joined Greater Manchester’s mayor and police commissioner Tony Lloyd and incoming Greater Manchester chief constable Ian Hopkins to sign a charter setting out how they will work together to protect children and young people.
Mr Lloyd said: “We are absolutely committed to tackling the abhorrent sexual abuse and exploitation of our children and young people. By pooling resources we can make a real difference; and I want every child in Greater Manchester to know that.”
The charter reinforces the work being done by Project Phoenix — Greater Manchester’s unique multi-agency response to sexual exploitation.
