The CASEE is an empirically and theoretically developed structured professional judgement tool that can assist professionals in the assessment of vulnerability and protective factors in children aged 11 to 17 years, in relation to Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE). Specifically the CASEE can be used with children who are at risk of CSE, those suspected of being at risk of CSE and those exposed to CSE. Based in theory and drawing extensively on published literature, the CASEE comprises 18 vulnerability items and eight protective factor items. Each item contains a description offering brief context and theory, outlining its association with CSE, followed by scoring details for each. This is followed by a formulation template and scenario planning to assist in the management of concerns. The manual contains all the materials needed to use the tool. The manual is published in English and is intended to be used by those with a foundation and maintained knowledge of the CSE literature, those with experience of working with young people who fit the age range of the CASEE, and those with a foundational knowledge of interviewing, assessing and/or working with this population. In the absence of this, there is an expectation that they receive supervision from someone meeting this criteria. If the CASEE is being used for non-clinical/non-practice etc purposes (e.g., such as research) then requirements may be less. Training in the CASEE is recommended and can be sourced by contacting TIOFP www.tiofp.com email: tiofp@tiofp.com. Each manual costs £88.00 (GPB, including tax and postage for a single manual) and cannot be copied or distributed without written permission from the authors/TIOFP. Purchased copies will be forwarded to the address listed on the payment form. Bulk and individual orders can be made by contacting tiofp@tiofp.com in the first instance.
