Research into sex markets in County Durham and Darlington

We were commissioned in 2010 by Northern Rock Foundation’s Safety and Justice Programme for Victims of Abuse to map the characteristics and dynamics of the sex market and sexual exploitation in County Durham and Darlington. This is a follow on piece of research from the work we did in Northumberland and Tyne and Wear (for a copy of that report, click here).

All of Barefoot’s sex market studies can be seen here: http://www.nr-foundation.org.uk/publications_sexexp.html

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."

Cath Carnaby, Manager, Women's Health Advice Centre
