A crackdown on child sex exploitation has led to 19 arrests across Greater Manchester.
Operation Phoenix is the latest drive to deal with the growing menace of sexual grooming, by turning up the heat on perpetrators and raising awareness among the young.
A new website - www.itsnotokay.co.uk - was launched today with information on spotting the signs of child sex exploitation.
The launch of the It’s Not Okay campaign follows a week of action across the region.
DS Lindsey Curry from GMP said: “It’s about recognising there’s a problem. It’s an extremely complex issue and we have to provide the right service. No one agency on its own can deal with it.”
