Oxford West and Abingdon MP Nicola Blackwood backed the launch of a new campaign to tackle child sexual exploitation yesterday.

National charities the NWG Network and Missing People developed the “Say Something” campaign with children to empower them to identify early signs of exploitation.

The scheme will offer a free, 24-hour, anonymous phone and SMS helpline, 116 000, to disclose information and find help.

Ms Blackwood said: “I am delighted that the new partnership means that there is an option for young people to report their concerns.”
