About

This webinar will compare legislation related to offline and online grooming activities for the purpose of child sexual exploitation and abuse. We will explore the gaps in legislation of online grooming, how the perception of online grooming varies to offline, and the key facts that support and emphasize the importance of a globally recognised definition of grooming.

This webinar is designed for policymakers, government, law enforcement, industry and hotline managers.
