The theme of the European day, is 'Emerging technologies: threats and opportunities for the protection of children against sexual exploitation and sexual abuse.' Our team is resolutely committed to driving forward research and insights in this area, to lead to real change in the global fight against online child sexual abuse.

Our Deputy Director Anna Markovska and our Dawes Chair of Public Protection, Prof Tim McSweeney, travelled to San Francisco last week for the American Society of Criminology annual conference. Anna led a roundtable discussion which explored the impact of war and conflict on policing, corruption, PTSD, propaganda, and investigative journalism. Tim presented findings from his serious and organised crime study during a session on the policing and prosecution of this type of offending. Thank you to Tim and Anna for sharing their insights and research to a global audience.

Important and useful resources here from the #CSETaskforce. Language matters.
Every word shapes a life. When talking about children and exploitation, language matters. It can be the difference between a child being properly safeguarded or put at further risk of exploitation. The #CSETaskforce commissioned The Children's Society and NAPAC - the National Association for People Abused in Childhood to develop refreshed guidance in relation to the use of appropriate language which has been published today. This will help influence the direct practice of professionals as well as the wider culture surrounding the safeguarding of children Download the guide here >> https://lnkd.in/eE2-vwhV VKPP - Vulnerability Knowledge & Practice Programme The Hydrant Programme

A chance here for victims / survivors to share their views on an important piece of policy - see full details below:
Victim/survivors of child sexual abuse are being encouraged to share their views on the Victim Code of Practice (VCOP) and Services. Following on from preliminary work in Spring 2024, the IICSA Changemakers are now building upon the reflections that victim/survivors shared as being important and have launched two anonymous surveys. The surveys can be accessed here: VCOP - https://lnkd.in/eYrK2UXS Services - https://lnkd.in/exhnTYG7 Both surveys will be open until Friday 22nd November. - Participants do not need to disclose any specific details about abuse. - It is for any adult (18 years old+) survivor of child sexual abuse. - You DO NOT need to have reported to the police or gone through the criminal justice system to respond. - Surveys do not need to be completed in one sitting - participants can save their progress and come back to it depending on how they're feeling.
