Mapping sex markets

Since 2003, we have been mapping sex markets in the North East and Cumbria. This has resulted in a series of publications which can be downloaded here.

Methodology paper: mapping sex markets

CLIENT FEEDBACK

"Barefoot did a fantatsic job of our evaluation. In particular, their approach to working with our service users was very impressive. The evaluation has answered many of our questions, but also asked us more, which gives us a great opportunity for the future."
