What is Cuckooing? 

Cuckooing is a practice where people take over a person’s home and use the property to facilitate exploitation. It takes the name from cuckoo birds who take over the nest of other birds.

There are different types of cuckooing:

• using the property to deal, store or take drugs (most common)
• using the property to sex work
• taking over the property as a place to live
• taking over the property to financially abuse the resident
