About this webinar
The internet and technology-based communications are now embedded in the daily lives of both adults and children. These digital platforms and devices can bring freedom and opportunity, but online contexts now feature in almost all types of child sexual abuse, so there is also the potential for harm. This can include harmful sexual behaviour displayed by under-18s, which may be harmful towards themselves or another child, young person or adult. In these situations, it is important that professionals can confidently build a detailed understanding of a child’s broader behaviours - both online and offline – in order to intervene. This webinar will provide a useful introduction to harmful sexual behaviour in online contexts and introduce participants to the context and emergence of this form of harm and show why it is such an important subject for professionals to be aware of.
While the session will have a specific focus on those who display these behaviours, we will also consider the impact on children and young people.
Who is this webinar for?
This webinar is suitable for all professionals working with children and young people.
