Chicken Cottage will train over 1,000 staff in London to identify potential exploitation of teenagers, addressing serious risks of criminal manipulation at fast food locations. The Children's Society, leading the initiative, emphasizes the importance of community involvement alongside staff training to safeguard vulnerable youths from drug crimes, money laundering, and sexual exploitation. The project aims to create safe environments for young people while building on previous efforts, such as promoting awareness against weapon carrying. Despite past criticism regarding related campaigns, the current focus remains on protecting children from exploitation.
Staff will be trained to spot concerning behaviour such as youngsters travelling alone, or appearing anxious or under the control of older individuals.
Azam Hanipah, finance manager for Chicken Cottage, said the aim was to 'create lasting change and inspire action' and ensure they created 'safe spaces' for young people.
