The Centre for Abuse and Trauma Studies (CATS) at Kingston University and the National Centre for Social Research (NATCEN) are pleased to invite you to a presentation of the findings from the European Online Grooming Project. The study was funded by the European Commission Safer Internet Programme and was conducted by a consortium of partners from 4 EU countries*.
The research aimed to: Describe the behaviour of both offenders who groom and young people who are ‘groomed’ and explore differences within each group and how these differences may have a bearing on offence outcome; to describe the way in which information, communication technology is used to facilitate the process of online grooming; to further the current low knowledge base
about the way in which young people are selected and prepared for abuse online and to make a contribution to the development of educational awareness and preventative initiatives aimed at parents and young people. Presentations from the Research Team will be followed by an Expert Discussion Panel to consider the implications of the findings for policy and practice with offenders, child victims and for young people online.
