This webinar is organised by UKCIS evidence group, with support from other agencies.

About this EventThe risk to children of online sexual abuse, alongside other forms of online harm, is likely to have increased as a result of isolation measures, with children being educated and spending more time online. Whilst we do not know the true impact of COVID-19, and the harm inflicted to children by offenders during lockdown, it is recognised that it is an increasing problem and, as a result, needs to be addressed. This webinar will bring together high-level experts from research, policy and practice with the aim to discuss this important and growing phenomenon.Key experts include: •	Tink Palmer MBE (Marie Collins Foundation)•	Dr Jo Bryce (University of Central Lancashire)•	Dr Jeffrey DeMarco (Middlesex University/NatCen)•	 Dr Victoria Baines, (Bournemouth University)•	Simon Bailey QPM (Norfolk Constabulary)•	Professor Julia Davidson OBE (University of East London)•	Dr Elena Martellozzo (Middlesex University)•	Professor Mary Aiken (University of East London)The event is organised by UKCIS in collaboration with the Institute for Connected Communities, University of East London and Middlesex University, with the support of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media &amp; Sport (DCMS) and the Marie Collins Foundation (MCF), the UK charity enabling children who suffer sexual abuse and exploitation via internet and mobile technologies.
