Child sexual abuse and the internet
A course for those working with internet sexual offenders
Our one-day workshop explores all aspects of internet offending and will benefit social workers, offender managers and other practitioners involved in the assessment and risk management of internet offenders.
This training course provides an insight into how the internet is used as part of sexually abusive behaviour and explores practical ways in which associated risks can be assessed. It also looks at intervention methods for internet offenders and their families.
The course provides you with a greater understanding and awareness of:
- The different types of internet abuser
- The different ways in which abusers use the internet
- The relationship between internet offending and 'hands on' offending
- Ways to develop robust and effective Family Safety Plans
It also provides a greater awareness of the range of possible responses when internet offending comes to light and how best to respond.
