Preventing Grooming & Sexual Abuse

Sexual Grooming. It’s an uncomfortable topic, but one we can, and must, address together. With professional guidance from Anna Clarke (Psychologist and Experienced DV/SA Support Service Member), this session focuses on preventative and proactive strategies.

Whether you're a parent, psychologist, teacher, or working with children, we can all play a part in protecting the young people in our community.

We understand - tackling topics like grooming, online safety and sextortion can feel challenging. That's why we've designed this webinar to provide you with practical, actionable tools that won’t overwhelm you with trauma-heavy content.

What we’ll cover in the 2 hour live webinar**:

• How to recognise and dismantle grooming behaviours to keep children safe
• Insights into online safety and the growing risk of sextortion
• Why Neurodivergent individuals, especially autistic people, are more vulnerable - and how to reduce their risk
• Introduction to the Neurodiversity-Affirming Model - a powerful framework for building safer environments for Neurodivergent children and young people
• Q&A in a safe space with an experienced professional

You’ll walk away feeling more knowledgable and confident in your ability to:

• Spot the warning signs early on
• Support those at risk more effectively
• Create safe, inclusive spaces that foster connection and protection for Neurodivergent individuals
