| A study funded by the Nuffield Foundation and carried out by Barnardo’s, NatCen and UCL, has analysed the records of 9,042 children affected by child sexual exploitation and supported by Barnardo’s since 2008. It reveals 1 in 3 (2,986) were boys. This is a much higher figure than was previously thought. |
