Mapping sex markets
Since 2003, we have been mapping sex markets in the North East and Cumbria. This has resulted in a number of policy changes and project development activities. We have produced a number of publications that serve a number of purposes: assisting local authorities, partnerships and voluntary sector agencies develop policy and projects; helping others interested in carrying out similar studies; contributing to a public debate about sex work and child sexual exploitations; and contributing to academic knowledge. It was always our intention to bring this hidden population to the fore, make them seen and help those wishing to exit sex work. Our publications attempt to contribute to this.

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."Jayne Butler, Manager, The Comfrey Project
"As an organisation we felt that Barefoot did an excellent job of listening and understanding the needs of our review... We were thrilled with the final report; as well as being a very good read, the presentation and quality was excellent."
