About The Webinar
Online Grooming: How Schools Can Recognise, React and Respond to a Continuing Threat
This webinar will provide headteachers, designated safeguarding leads (DSLs), teachers and all school staff with practical advice and guidance on how they can keep children safe and disrupt the online grooming process.
Lockdown and the move to remote education have increased levels of online grooming. Last year, the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) reported a record number of online child sexual abuse reports. They warned that ‘children are at greater risk of being approached or groomed by strangers online than ever before.’ This supported police figures which found the number of grooming crimes increased by 13% to 1,220 during the first three months of lockdown.
In this webinar, international online grooming expert and former Covert Internet Investigator, Jonathan Taylor, explains how schools can respond to online grooming concerns, the techniques that online predators use and preventative methods to help keep children safe online.
