Exploitation Helpline 08000 121 700<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A third (32%) of UK adults do not know what County Lines is, while more than half (53%) confess to little or no understanding of what it means, according to new research for anti-slavery charity Unseen.<br \/>\nAbout a third of parents (34%) would not feel confident spotting the signs if their\/a child was being used for County Lines, while similar numbers (38%) would not what to do if their\/a child had become involved in County Lines, or feel confident about who to contact (37%).<br \/>\nThe findings are part of a new campaign by Unseen to raise awareness of County Lines among parents, carers and other adults, and to encourage them to get help by contacting its Modern Slavery &amp; Exploitation Helpline.<br \/>\nThe research, conducted by poll group Opinium, comes amid a backdrop of growing numbers of children involved in modern slavery in the UK. In 2020, nearly half (47%) of referrals to the Government National Referral Mechanism claimed they had been exploited as children.<br \/>\n\u201cModern slavery takes many forms, including child exploitation and County Lines exploitation involving children,\u201d says Justine Currell, Executive Director of Unseen.<br \/>\n\u201cOf all the types of modern slavery, we were shocked to see awareness of County Lines was by far the worst, with nearly one in five people (19%) saying they have never heard of it. This compares to two per cent having not heard of human trafficking, three per cent forced labour, and eight per cent not aware of domestic servitude.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>County Lines definition<\/strong><br \/>\nCounty Lines describes the mobile phone lines used by criminal gangs to organise illegal drugs to be moved and sold from one village, town or city to another across the UK.<br \/>\nChildren are most often used to move and sell the drugs. They are recruited by gang members who pose as friends and then trap the young people into a terrifying cycle of violence, exploitation and abuse.<br \/>\nSays Justine Currell: \u201cThe more that people understand the issues, how to spot the signs and where to go for help, the sooner we can reverse the growing numbers of children involved in modern slavery.<br \/>\n\u201cChildren caught up in County Lines are not criminals \u2013 they are victims of exploitation at the hands of organised criminal gangs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joshua\u2019s story<\/strong><br \/>\nEmily\u2019s son Joshua grew up near a small town in the UK and became involved in with a gang who were dealing drugs from what\u2019s known as a \u201ccuckoo\u201d house (where the gang takes over the home of a vulnerable person).<br \/>\nEventually Joshua was arrested, but was identified as a victim of modern slavery, and the case was dropped against him.<br \/>\nSays Emily: \u201cWhy do I think this all happened to my son? Yes, he has vulnerabilities, but to me, as his mum, he was the kid that never fitted in and then suddenly found he fitted in.<br \/>\n\u201cI used to think kids who got involved with gangs were probably just naughty kids. But you don\u2019t know anything until you\u2019ve actually seen it yourself. They don\u2019t stand a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unseen\u2019s research also found that UK adults think the most vulnerable to being recruited to County Lines in the UK are:<\/p>\n<p>\u25aa Children from low economic backgrounds (55%)<\/p>\n<p>\u25aa Children aged 12-15 years old (41%)<\/p>\n<p>\u25aa Children from ethnic minority backgrounds (40%)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In fact, any child can be at risk.<\/p>\n<p>When asked who should take responsibility for County Lines in the UK, three quarters of respondents (75%) felt it should be the police, with 55% saying the government, 42% family and 41% schools and education providers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Find out more about the campaign at:<a
