Text
One mechanism for the protection of at-risk young people is the use of the national referral mechanism. Figures that came out last week showed that there were 530 referrals in the past year. Does the Minister agree that we need to work more with our health service cohort to raise awareness of the national referral mechanism as a mechanism to protect children who are in danger of criminal child exploitation? The health service could utilise it more.
