Reducing the risk, cutting the cost: An assessment of the potential savings from Barnardo's interventions for young people who have been sexually exploited

. Report, Barnardo's, Ilford, UK, (September 2011)

Abstract

Determine the effectiveness of Barnardo's interventions in reducing the risk of sexual exploitation and associated risk factors, and estimates the fiscal rate of return of such interventions – that is, the saving to the taxpayer for every pound spent by Barnardo's on the intervention. The cost of sexual exploitation is estimated for varying degrees of severity using a range of secondary sources. These estimates are then combined to calculate the gross financial benefit of the intervention, and compared to the cost of the intervention to give an overall fiscal rate of return.
