Delivered by Rod Landman
Content Warning: Grooming, Abuse and Coercive Control
This webinar will address recent learning concerning online harms and threats centred on grooming with a focus on Autism and Learning Disabilities. Drawing on project work, involving experts by experience, on mate crime, sexual exploitation, social media grooming for the purposes of radicalisation, and domestic abuse/sexual violence. Rod covers: Risk factors; The online world, learning disability and autism; Grooming; Case law and Key tools. This webinar will take an ‘Online Positive’ approach, which argues that the internet is a fabulously positive thing in most people’s lives. Responses to dangerous online activity should be about harm mitigation and empowerment
