CASE STUDY: LINCOLNSHIRE POLICE
How CESIUM identified 16 vulnerable children up to 6 months before safeguarding referral
What is CESIUM?
CESIUM, co-designed with Lincolnshire Police, uses ethically designed AI to proactively identify and prioritise children who are vulnerable to exploitation for human-led risk assessment.
Safeguarding without CESIUM
- A concerned adult refers a child via an online form.
- Analysts receive the referral form and use general purpose software to compile data about the child from multiple safeguarding databases.
- Analysts share reports over email.
- Safeguarding partners collectively review reports to begin risk assessing the child.
- A decision is made as to whether to refer the child for formal risk assessment.
- This process is repeated for the formal risk assessment.
Safeguarding with CESIUM
- A concerned adult refers a child via an online form.
- CESIUM enables analysts to access all known information about the child in near-real-time.
- Safeguarding partners use CESIUM’s tools and visualisations to risk assess the child and decide upon subsequent actions.
- Proactive identification of vulnerable children using new research capabilities.
On average, risk assessment process takes five people five days.
On average, risk assessment takes 20 mins per child.
