About this event
For the last 15 months, DRAGON+ has been working towards bringing together qualitative and quantitative linguistic analysis of online grooming chatlogs and participatory research methods, to provide new research-evidence on offender-child dynamics and children’s language during online grooming. We have generated novel, richly contextualised research insights to inform the design and implementation of actionable online grooming preventative/detective technologies, at scale. You are invited to join us at our outreach event where we will present our insights and recommendations.
At the event you will hear from key partners that have worked closely with the DRAGON+ team to produce a blueprint containing reports outlining multiple studies conducted, resources and recommendations. We will be joined by our collaborative funders Tech Coalition and Safe Online, in addition to our core partners Marie Collins Foundation, Red PaPaz and INHOPE. You will also hear from the DRAGON+ team, who will cover key insights contained in the blueprint and present recommendations for next steps for the project. The event will close with a Q&A / discussion chaired by Professor Nuria Lorenzo-Dus, Project Lead.
The event will be held online via Zoom. You will need internet access to join. The link will be available from the Eventbrite Page on the day of the event.
